  5. In a large bowl, mix cream of chicken soup, cream of broccoli soup, milk, sour cream, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir in the cooked rice.
  6. Stir in turkey, broccoli florets, and 1 ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese. Pour mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
  7. Combine crushed crackers, butter, and remaining shredded cheddar cheese. Sprinkle topping over top of the casserole.
