Turkey Butternut Squash and Orzo Casserole

Okay, I know that not everyone has turkey leftover today, but for those who do….

how about a quick, easy turkey casserole? It is still squash season and fresh spinach is also abundant this time of year. Add a little sweetness from apple cider (or apple juice if you prefer) and you have a delicious casserole!
