Ingredients

• 12 oz Egg noodles
• 3 tbsp Butter
• 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 8 oz, sliced Button or cremini mushrooms
• 3 tbsp Flour
• 2 cups Chicken or turkey broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 3 cups, shredded or diced Cooked turkey or chicken
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp or to taste Salt
• 0.5 tsp or to taste Black pepper
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft and their liquid has mostly evaporated.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the chicken or turkey broth while whisking to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Simmer for 2 more minutes.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and gently stir in the cooked turkey or chicken, frozen peas, and Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Combine the cooked egg noodles with the sauce mixture and mix well. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 10

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole.

Step 11

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

Step 12

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