"I get by with a little help from my friends....", yes, this Beatles song quote fits perfectly for todays post. Even I get in grumpy moods and don't feel like really cooking but there are mouths to feed so I will gladly cheat a bit to throw something together. Today was one of those days!

Last night I roasted off a whole turkey breast (notice the missing corner in pic, well I can't help myself when anything first comes out of the oven haha!) with the intentions of making a few meals out of it.

So today I went rummaging around the kitchen to see what else I could find. What was I keeping in mind? Well a few readers have requested fast, easy, use of leftovers and budget friendly.

This one hits on all of those! A little help from these friends: Birdseye Steamfresh Broccoli in a light cheese sauce & Near East Original Wild Rice. While I use my roasted turkey in the recipe, you can easily substitute whatever you have on hand.

You may be thinking, wait, didn't we do this recipe already?? Well, yes I have done a very similar one, my Chicken Broccoli and Cheddar Bake, but that one was not as fast or as simple as this one but they are equally yummy!
