3 cups shredded cooked turkey
8 slices turkey breast, chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 tbsp melted butter
Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Add the shredded turkey, chopped turkey breast slices, and shredded mozzarella cheese to the sauce mixture. Mix gently to combine all the ingredients.
Pour the turkey and cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumbs evenly over the casserole to create a crispy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color.
