Ingredients

• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 3 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken or turkey broth
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup carrots, diced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots and cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened.

Step 4

Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the chicken or turkey broth and milk, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened.

Step 7

Stir in the sour cream, salt, black pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.

Step 8

Add the cooked turkey, peas, and drained egg noodles to the sauce. Stir to combine everything evenly.

Step 9

Pour the turkey noodle mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 10

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.

Step 12

Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Turkey Noodle Casserole!
