Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots and cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the chicken or turkey broth and milk, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
Stir in the sour cream, salt, black pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
Add the cooked turkey, peas, and drained egg noodles to the sauce. Stir to combine everything evenly.
Pour the turkey noodle mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Turkey Noodle Casserole!
