I love turkey leftovers, as most of us do, but by about the third day I am ready to be done eating them. At this point, I usually make Turkey Noodle Soup and the rest of the leftover turkey goes into this hearty and satisfying Turkey Noodle Casserole.
Everybody loves this simple and easy comfort food. There’s not usually any left, but if there is it tastes even better the second day!
How to Make Turkey Noodle Casserole
Transforming leftover turkey into this hearty and satisfying Turkey Noodle Casserole is easy and delicious. It is a great comfort food recipe to use up the last of it!
There is a lot of really great things that can be done with turkey leftovers but this delicious turkey noodle casserole is a family favorite! Even the pickiest of my family members have eaten this and liked it. It uses around three cups of turkey leftovers, but you can use up to four if that’s what you have left.
This is seriously a dump, mix and bake recipe, which are pretty much my favorite kind! The egg noodles are not even cooked beforehand. They cook in the sauce. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F with the rack in the middle position.
Chop the leftover turkey into bite sized pieces. Place the chopped turkey into a large bowl along with the cream of mushroom soup, miracle whip, milk and water. Add chopped celery and chopped onion, 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and three cups of uncooked egg noodles. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Pour into a 9×13 baking dish and spread it out evenly. Lightly sprinkle the top with Old Bay seasoning or paprika if desired and cover with foil.
Bake for one hour, removing the foil at the 45 minute mark and cooking, uncovered, for the last 15 minutes.
Allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving. So good! Enjoy!
