    Ingredients
      

    • 10 oz. condensed cream of chicken soup
    • 2 cups frozen peas, (or peas and carrots)
    • 2 cups turkey or chicken, cooked and cubed
    • 4 cups cheese tortellini
    • 2 cups cheddar cheese, sharp, shredded
    • 1 cup milk, or enough to get desired consistency

    Instructions

    • In a large pot, boil tortellini according to package directions.
    • In a 5 quart baking dish, mix together soup, peas, turkey, and 1.5 cups of cheese.
    • Add cooked, drained tortellini to the soup mixture and stir gently until well blended.
    • Add milk a little at a time as needed for consistency, stirring gently after each addition.
    • Sprinkle remaining cheese over top of tortellini. Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes or until bubbly.

    Notes

    For a delicious vegetarian option, increase the vegetables (I like to use peas and carrots or change to a Normandy-style mix of frozen vegetables), and swap out the soup to cream of mushroom or celery.

      Because adding the milk was not in the directions I forgot to add it and now my dish is so dry 😭 but overall pretty tasty.
