Turkey Casserole


  • 1 package(s) (1-ounce) dried porcini mushrooms or 16 medium-sized mushrooms
  • 2 1/2 cup(s) large pieces of roast chicken or turkey
  • 8 ounce(s) wide egg noodles, cooked
  • 3 tablespoon(s) olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon(s) finely chopped shallots or onions
  • 1 teaspoon(s) chopped thyme leaves
  • ground pepper
  • 3 tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cup(s) milk or milk/cream combination
  • 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
  • 1/2 cup(s) Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup(s) bread crumbs

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Soak mushrooms according to package directions, reserving 1 1/2 cups liquid. Chop mushrooms, then toss with large pieces of roast turkey and wide egg noodles in a large bowl.
  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté onions or shallots until softened, about 5 minutes. Add thyme leaves and cayenne pepper and cook until shallots become golden, about 2 more minutes.
  3. Stir in all-purpose flour and cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add milk and reserved porcini liquid. Scrape bits from bottom of pan and season with salt. Heat just to boiling, then pour over noodle mixture; toss. Transfer to a baking dish, cover with lightly buttered aluminum foil, and bake for 25 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix Parmesan cheese with bread crumbs. Remove foil from casserole and sprinkle with cheese mixture. Continue to bake until golden, about 10 minutes
