A comforting and creamy pasta casserole made with leftover turkey, mushrooms, and noodles, topped with a golden breadcrumb crust. This dish is a beloved post-holiday tradition.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
  • 8 ounces egg noodles, cooked according to package directions
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, milk, heavy cream, and white wine (if using) until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat. Stir in the cooked turkey and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese.
  6. Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and stir to combine with the turkey mixture.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and the panko breadcrumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
  10. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • This casserole freezes well. Let it cool completely, then wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven until heated through.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like peas or diced carrots to the casserole.
  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute half-and-half for the milk and heavy cream.
