1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles until just al dente, then drain and set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey, frozen mixed vegetables, cooked noodles, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chicken or turkey broth, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.

4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

5. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.

6. In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the cheese layer in the casserole.

7. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

8. Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
