Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion minced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper chopped
  • 4 ounces mushrooms diced
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 8 ounces American cheese
  • 8 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
  • 3 cups turkey cooked and shredded
  • 16 ounces egg noodles cooked

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350° F, and grease a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter and sauté the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms until they’re tender, probably about 15 minutes.
  • Then add the flour and blend it in with the veggies really well.
  • Add in the milk and chicken broth, cooking on low ’til the sauce begins to thicken.
  • Finally, add in the salt, pepper, and cheeses, and cook until the cheese is melted.
  • Combine the cheese sauce, shredded turkey, and noodles in a large mixing bowl, and spread the mixture in the greased 9x13 baking dish.
  • Bake at 350° F for about 30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and bubbly.
  • Serve while warm.

Notes

*You can also use spaghetti noodles or fettuccine noodles instead of egg noodles. Or you can use gluten-free pasta and gluten-free flour to make this casserole gluten-free. Of course, check the labels on all of your other ingredients to ensure that everything is gluten-free if going this route.
*Don’t have turkey? Use chicken instead; rotisserie chicken would taste great. Just shred it up and add as you would the turkey.
