Cheesy Corn Bread, Spinach and Turkey Casserole


This casserole is FULL of flavor! We love it! (Can't wait to have the leftovers for lunch tommorrow)! These ingredients went together quick even with me having to make the cheese sauce! Justin is away at a volleyball game tonight, Walker is studying for two tests and stressing over why his girl broke up with him today, which kills him because he doesn't know why. LOL! Ah Middle School love! Hopefully this casserole will help ease the pain. :o)
