Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375F (190C).

In a 3-quart saucepan, melt margarine over medium-high heat. Add chopped green bell pepper and 1/4 cup of the sliced green onions. Saut for 4 to 5 minutes until crisp-tender.

Stir in the cream-style corn, skim milk, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the mixture begins to bubble.

Remove the saucepan from heat. Gently fold in the cubed cooked turkey and instant potato flakes until evenly combined.
-
Lightly coat a 9-inch square casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the turkey mixture into the prepared dish.

Sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining green onion tops.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the casserole is heated through.
