• 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup chicken or turkey broth
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles until just al dente, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey, frozen mixed vegetables, cooked noodles, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chicken or turkey broth, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 4

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 5

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the cheese layer in the casserole.

Step 7

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 8

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