Instructions
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2½-quart baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Cook Egg Noodles:
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rapid boil. Add egg noodles and cook until tender but firm to the bite, approximately 7 to 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic, and cook until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. The mushrooms should be golden, and the onions should be translucent.
Combine Ingredients:
- Stir in the condensed cream of mushroom soup, turkey gravy, milk, curry powder, poultry seasoning, and salt. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture is well-combined and heated through, about 5 minutes.
Assemble the Casserole:
- In the prepared baking dish, combine the cooked egg noodles, diced turkey, and thawed peas. Pour the hot soup mixture over the top and gently stir to coat all ingredients evenly. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the entire dish.
Bake:
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake until hot and bubbly, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. The cheese should be melted and slightly golden.
Serve:
- Allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy.
