Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds cooked turkey, shredded
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 ounces wide egg noodles
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional topping)
Instructions
- Place the shredded cooked turkey in the basin of your slow cooker.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
- Pour the soup mixture over the turkey in the slow cooker. Stir well to coat all the turkey evenly.
- Cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours or on HIGH for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring halfway through.
- About 30 minutes before serving, cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
- Stir the drained noodles, frozen peas, and Parmesan cheese into the slow cooker mixture. Mix gently until combined.
- Continue cooking on LOW for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the peas are heated through.
- Stir in the mozzarella cheese until melted and creamy.
- If you want a little crunch, sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs over the top before serving immediately.
Notes
- Using leftover Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey makes this recipe incredibly fast.
- If the mixture seems too thick, add a splash more chicken broth until you reach your desired creaminess.
- For a brighter flavor, use half-and-half instead of some of the broth.
