CHEF JOHN'S TURKEY NOODLE CASSEROLE



Chef John's Turkey Noodle Casserole image

This delicious casserole is for leftover leftovers. I don't know about you, but after a few days of eating Thanksgiving leftovers, no matter how tasty they originally were, I want something that makes me forget there's even turkey in it. Since ingredients like garam masala, spicy cheese, and peppers aren't typically used in the meal, they work wonderfully here to disguise the last of a holiday bird.

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces egg noodles
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
3 ½ cups cold milk
1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
½ cup diced red bell pepper
½ cup diced green bell pepper
¼ cup chopped green onions
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 cup shredded pepperjack cheese
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
3 cups cubed skinless cooked turkey
5 ounces crushed potato chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in boiling water, stirring occasionally until almost cooked through and still firm to the bite, about 4 minutes. Drain.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour; cook, stirring, until mixture is light golden, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour milk into butter and flour mixture, whisking constantly. Stir in cream of mushroom soup, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, green onions, garam masala, and dried tarragon. Bring mixture to a simmer, cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in pepperjack cheese until cheese is melted and incorporated.
  • Stir pepperjack cheese mixture, turkey meat, and noodles in a large bowl until evenly incorporated. Pour mixture into a large casserole dish. Sprinkle chips on top, pressing down slightly with the tines of a fork. Bake in the preheated oven until casserole top is golden brown and sauce is bubbling, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right noodles: Medium-sized noodles, such as egg noodles or macaroni, work best in this casserole. They're able to hold the sauce and other ingredients well without getting too soggy.
  • Cook the noodles al dente: You want the noodles to be cooked through but still have a little bit of a bite to them. This will help them hold their shape in the casserole.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: A sharp cheddar or a combination of cheddar and Parmesan is a good choice. The cheese should melt well and provide a gooey, flavorful sauce.
  • Don't skimp on the vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the casserole. Use a variety of vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, celery, and onions.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will add flavor to the casserole. Use a chicken or turkey broth that is low in sodium so that you can control the amount of salt in the dish.
  • Season the casserole well: In addition to salt and pepper, you can add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs, to taste.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The casserole should be cooked until the noodles are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooking will make the noodles mushy and the cheese tough.

Conclusion:

Cheesy turkey noodle casserole is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover turkey. You can customize the casserole to your liking by adding different vegetables, cheeses, and seasonings. With a few simple tips, you can make a cheesy turkey noodle casserole that is both delicious and comforting.
