Turkey Casserole

I had one turkey casserole left in our deep freezer & I baked it a while back.

Now that it's the turkey season, I thought I'd share this recipe, it's a little different than the other one I posted.

Turkey Noodle Casserole

1 (6 oz.) pkg. noodles

1 small chopped green pepper

1 chopped onion

2 stalks celery, diced

4 T. butter plus 1 T. olive oil

4 T. flour

1/2 t. salt

1/4 t. pepper

1 c. chicken stock

1/2 c. milk

2 c. turkey, diced

1 small can mushrooms

Cook noodles, drain, & set aside.

Saute green peppers, onion, & celery in butter & olive oil until tender. Blend in flour & seasonings. Add milk & chicken stock & cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in the turkey, noodles, & the can of mushrooms. Pour into greased casserole dish & bake at 350 for 25 minutes. OR-if you want to save it for another day if you're a little tired of turkey....

freeze it! Pour it into a casserole dish lined with foil or saran wrap & freeze it. Once it is frozen, you can lift it out & then wrap it really well in saran wrap & foil, label it, & put it in freezer.

When ready to fix it, remove foil & return it to the origional casserole dish. Bake at 350 for 70-90 minutes. I kept mine covered with foil so the baking wouldn't harden the noodles on top, & I also stirred it a few times.

We had it with oven fries & sliced tomatoes. It felt like a free meal, because the only cost was a few potatoes! (sorry this picture quality it pretty bad...)
