Turkey Noodle Leftover Casserole

Here is an easy recipe to remind you that a simple white sauce can turn your leftovers into a homemade gluten free casserole. If you have never made a roux before make sure and check out Gluten Free Cooking School’s Cream of Mushroom soup recipe pictures. You will be an expert in no time!

TURKEY NOODLE LEFTOVER CASSEROLE

1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)

1/4 cup flour (your choice: sweet rice flour works well)

1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

3 1/2 cups milk

1/2 pound sharp cheddar cheese (or use mixture of cheeses)

8 oz. cooked noodles (prefer gluten free spirals)

3-4 cups diced cooked turkey or chicken

10 oz. of broccoli florets (or use peas)

1/2 cup almonds for topping or use gluten free bread crumbs

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2 qt. casserole dish and set aside. In a medium pan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the flour, mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir for about 2 minutes. Gradually add the milk whisking constantly until thickened. Add the cheese and stir until it melts. Set the sauce aside.

In your casserole dish, place your noodles in the bottom, then layer the turkey and broccoli over the top. Pour the sauce over the top of all. Sprinkle with almonds or gluten free bread crumbs. Bake 25-30 minutes.

    This looks delish!!! I just made your Bombay Chicken and Coconut rice last night for my folks and it was amazing with the peaches!!! I had to quickly sneak some into a dish so that I could have some for lunch today; thank you so much for sharing those recipes.

    All the best with your future addition.

    I won’t be saving this one for Thanksgiving. I will be using up my left over chicken from next weeks menu to make this. The kids will love the broccoli in it especially with the cheese. That is one of their favorites.
