Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 units Large eggs
- 0.25 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt (for noodles)
- 3 cups Cooked turkey, shredded or diced
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for sauce)
- 2 cups Chicken or turkey broth
- 1 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cups Frozen peas
- 1 teaspoons Salt (for seasoning)
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or melted butter (for topping)
Instructions
Start by preparing the homemade noodles. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Create a well in the center and crack in 3 large eggs. Add 1/4 cup water.
Mix the ingredients until they come together into a dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
While the dough rests, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into wide strips for the noodles (about 1/2 inch wide and 4–5 inches long). Set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles for 2–3 minutes, just until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 3 tablespoons flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups chicken or turkey broth and 1 cup milk. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens, about 4–5 minutes.
Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Add the cooked turkey and frozen peas to the sauce and stir to combine.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles with the turkey and sauce mixture. Toss well to coat.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly.
In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup breadcrumbs with 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb and cheese mixture over the casserole.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade turkey casserole with noodles!
