THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS-TURKEY NOODLE CASSEROLE



Thanksgiving Leftovers-Turkey Noodle Casserole image

This has been a tradition with our family for many years to make with leftover turkey for Thanksgiving or you can use anytime and use chicken instead. When I originally got this recipe I felt that the sauce ingredients were not enough and always double the sauce. So if you find that the sauce is too much then just cut the ingredients in half, which is the original recipe! Also, I have never used the minced pimiento. Enjoy!
