Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Egg noodles
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 8 oz, sliced Button or cremini mushrooms
- 3 tbsp Flour
- 2 cups Chicken or turkey broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 cups, shredded or diced Cooked turkey or chicken
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp or to taste Salt
- 0.5 tsp or to taste Black pepper
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft and their liquid has mostly evaporated.
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken or turkey broth while whisking to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
Stir in the heavy cream and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Simmer for 2 more minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and gently stir in the cooked turkey or chicken, frozen peas, and Parmesan cheese.
Combine the cooked egg noodles with the sauce mixture and mix well. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
