Eula’s Casserole

I’ll bet most people have a ‘go to’ casserole in their family recipe box…they almost all include a can of cream of ka-ka (cream style soup), and this one is not much different, but every time I make this, I get asked for the recipe!  It feeds a crowd and has a fresh flavor that not all creamy casseroles have.
Eula was my mother-in-law, probably one of the nicest people I have ever had the privilege of knowing…she had a true heart of gold.  She was a wonderful cook, and I’m not so sure she would be thrilled to know that her name is attached to one of the simplest dishes she made, but we started calling it Eula’s Casserole years ago and it’s too late to change now!
This feeds about 6 people and is delicious with a side of french bread.

2 cups cooked turkey or chicken, cubed
1/2 cup mayonnaise
