    one pot turkey noodle casserole in cream sauce with vegetables and pasta

    Its been a little while since I made a one pot dinner recipe. But, after I posted my Instant Pot Turkey Noodle Casserole, a few of you wrote to ask for an easy turkey casserole made on the stove. So, here it is -- One Pot Turkey Noodle Casserole made with leftover turkey!

    I guess you can never have too many easy leftover turkey recipes, especially after Thanksgiving. And as much as I love my Instant Pot, it's just as easy to make this leftover turkey casserole on the stove. So really, do whatever works best for you.

    This turkey noodle casserole is made with just a few simple ingredients -- you probably have most of them in your pantry. You can also add your favorite seasonings or different pasta or cheese.

    The goal is to use what you have and use up leftovers in a quick and easy dinner. After all, you probably want a break from cooking after the holidays!

    How to make leftover turkey casserole

    Just add your leftover turkey to a pot or skillet. Then, add some noodles, broth or water, and throw in some seasonings and frozen veggies. I used egg noodles in this casserole, but you can add your favorite pasta.

    When I make pasta in the pressure cooker, I use a whole box, but you need less if you're using a skillet or small pot. If you have turkey broth, use it, but you can also use chicken broth or water.

    Egg noodles cook fast, so when they're getting soft, stir in some cream, and let everything hang out for a little bit. The liquid will start to thicken, and then, you can add some cheese. I used a combo of Parmesan and mozzarella, but  you can use your favorite here -- and add more if  you want!

    I added a little fresh parsley to brighten the casserole up, but it's optional. And, that's all there is to it! My family said this turkey noodle casserole is one of the best leftover turkey recipes ever -- no matter how you make it!

      I've been known to miss things...but when do the vegetables go in? Did I miss it? I put them in during the first boil step and it was fine, but just might want to include in the recipe!

      So great! I have so much extra turkey and turkey broth (which I used instead) I plan to make this in a large quantity. Have you ever frozen this?5 stars

        Yes, several times, and it reheats well. I usually make a big batch, and freeze in smaller portions.

      This was a super recipe for leftover smoked turkey from an early Thanksgiving. It was easy, flavorful and readily adaptable for ingredients I did or didn't have on hand. I started by sauteing mushrooms then seasoned them with Montreal chicken seasoning before adding the turkey to the pot. This amped up the flavor as I didn't have any broth and had to use only water. I also added a splash of coconut aminos with the liquid although I've read that soy sauce could be used. (Thanks Bon Appetit!) I also did not have any frozen vegetables so I cooked some chopped broccoli in the microwave then stirred it in at the end. This was delicious! Family loved it!5 stars
