Quick and easy (and huge!) recipe for using leftover turkey, ham, or chicken.
Ingredients
- 1 (10 3/4-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 (16-ounce) jar Alfredo sauce (I like Bertolli)
- 3 1/2 cups chopped cooked turkey, chicken, or ham
- 12 ounces egg noodles, cooked
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen petite peas, thawed
- 1 (8-ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1 1/2 cups shredded baby Swiss cheese
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup crushed garlic-and-butter seasoned croutons
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Whisk together soup and milk in large mixing bowl; whisk in Alfredo sauce. Stir in chopped turkey, next 4 ingredients, and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Pour into a lightly greased 15- x 10-inch baking dish.
- Stir together remaining Parmesan cheese, crushed croutons, and paprika; sprinkle evenly over casserole.
- Bake, covered, at 375° for 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake 15 more minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Okay, so this makes a HUGE casserole. Too huge for Richard and I to eat, too huge to fit in my RV's oven or convection oven. So what I do is make it in two casserole dishes and freeze one for later. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight; bake, covered, at 350° for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 more minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- If you want to "healthy" this up, use low fat/low salt replacements for everything you can except the milk, but as usual, don't expect it to be as rich. Skim does not perform well in casseroles I've found, but then I use 2% milk for everything since it lasts longer in the fridge compared to less fat milks. I don't like drinking full fat milk, but that has the longest shelf life of all fresh milks.
- Also, I do not salt this casserole, since the Parmesan cheese is salty and the cream of mushroom soup, Alfredo sauce, and garlic-and-butter seasoned croutons are already salted.
- Crushed seasoned croutons make great toppings for other casseroles too!
