Easy way to make Turkey Casserole at home (Creamy and Delicious)

Turkey casserole is a quick, creamy, and delectable supper. Pasta is combined with leftover turkey (or cooked ground turkey, if you prefer) and a creamy mushroom sauce before being sprinkled with buttery bread crumbs.

This is the ideal, tummy-warming dinner to savor leftover roast turkey.

Turkey Casserole Made Simple

Everyone enjoys casseroles, they are inexpensive, and they are simple to make.

I wanted to make a sauce that was quick and simple because I typically serve this with leftover turkey. The recipe for the quick sauce (seen below) is the ideal accompaniment.

It can be prepared ahead of time and stored covered in the refrigerator until it’s time to bake.

Ingredients/Variations

In this variation, a flavorful sauce created with cream of chicken soup, spices, and cheese is baked with turkey, mushrooms, and noodles.

VEGETABLES One of the best things about this dish is that it can be made heartier by including vegetables like broccoli, peas, or carrots.

PASTA
You may substitute any medium-sized pasta for the penne!

MEAT
This dish is frequently made using leftover turkey, but if you don’t have any, you may also substitute ground turkey, shredded chicken, or even sliced smoked sausage.

How to Prepare a Turkey Casserole

1. Prepare the pasta. In order to prevent overcooking while baking, make sure it’s al dente (very firm).
2. b(per the recipe below). Sauté the garlic, onion, and mushrooms. Add the mushroom mixture, soup, milk, seasonings, and half of the cheese.
3. Blend, then bake. Pasta and meat are combined. Add topping, then pour into a casserole dish and bake.

Serve this dish with quick dinner rolls, roasted garlic broccoli that is crisp, and a delicious homemade peach crisp for dessert.
