Ingredients

3 cups cooked shredded turkey

12 ounces egg noodles

1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup

1 cup sour cream

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup breadcrumbs or crushed crackers (optional topping)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)


Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Boil the egg noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

4. Stir in the cooked noodles, turkey, frozen peas and carrots, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.

5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

6. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Add the breadcrumbs or crushed crackers, if using.

7. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden.

8. Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and garnish with parsley before serving.


Notes

Let the casserole rest after baking so it sets and serves more cleanly.

Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melt and texture.

To freeze, wrap tightly and label for up to 3 months—perfect for busy nights!
