I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I know I am turkey'd out! But, I hate throwing out food...so I had to find some other way to use up the rest of the turkey leftovers. As a kid...and now..I LOVED tuna noodle casserole. I did a spin on that for a turkey noodle casserole!
- left over turkey, cubed
- 2 cups uncooked egg noodles
- 1/2 cup frozen green beans
-1/4 cup roasted red peppers, diced
- 1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
- 3/4 cup red pepper alfredo sauce (it's what I had...)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
-1/4 cup milk or half n half
-2 tsp. butter.
Preheat the oven to 400*. Start a pot of water boiling for the noodles. In the meantime, dice the red peppers and turkey. When the water is boiling, drop the noodled and cook according to package directions. In the last 2-3 minutes add the green beans. Once the noodles are done, drain them and put back in the pot with the butter, alfredo, milk, red peppers and turkey. Stir and put into a small baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Top with bread crumbs and cheese. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes and voila!

Thats all for now. Anyone have any suggestions for a star ingredient that they would like me to feature? I love comments!
