Ingredients

  • 12 oz. egg noodles
  • 8 Tbsp. butter divided
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tsp. italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp. nutmeg
  • 3 cups turkey meat cooked and shredded
  • 6 oz. canned sliced mushrooms
  • ¾ cup frozen peas
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup mozzerella cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
  • 4 Tbsp. flour

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside. Cook egg noodles in a large pot, following package instructions, then strain and set aside.
    Add 4 Tbsp. butter to a large skillet along with diced onion. Cook on medium-high until the onions are translucent. Then, add flour and whisk until a thick paste forms a roux. Slowly add chicken broth and then milk, whisking until smooth and creamy, to form your béchamel.
    Mix in Italian seasoning and nutmeg, then shredded turkey, mushrooms, peas, Parmesan, and mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, add in the cooked egg noodles and gently mix to combine.

Notes

  • Don't have turkey? Use a rotisserie chicken or boil 2 chicken breasts. 
  • Dice the Onion: Make sure to dice the onion very finely. This should be a smooth, decadent and creamy cheese sauce.
