Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, chicken or turkey broth, and cornstarch until smooth. Set the sauce mixture aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of cooking oil. SautΓ© the minced garlic and grated ginger for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until thawed and slightly tender.
Stir in the cooked turkey, scallions, and the soy sauce mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is evenly coated. Season with salt and black pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles and the turkey-vegetable mixture. Toss gently to combine. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy and the casserole is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional scallions, if desired.
