    Hey Jennifer, the Cheeseburger Casserole caught my eye – and my kids devoured it! Quick q: do you think it’d still taste alright if I swapped ground beef for turkey? Trying to make meals a bit leaner. Thanks!

    1. ChrisT says:

      Hi Marie, not Jennifer here, but I’ve made a similar swap before and it was delicious. Maybe just spice it a bit more!

    2. Jennifer Pallian BSc, RD says:

      Hi Marie, yes you can! I agree with Chris that I like a little bit of cayenne with ground turkey to offset its sweeter flavor.
