Crescent Almond Topped Chicken Or Turkey Casserole
"A KC favorite! This also works well with cooked turkey, you can prepare the soup mixture and refrigerate overnight before using just warm in the microwave or on top of the stove until hot, the filling must be hot before topping with the dough, if desired double all ingredients and bake it in a 13 x 9-inch pan"
