Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles until al dente, about 6-8 minutes. Drain well.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and milk. Whisk in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Add the drained egg noodles to the cream mixture. Fold in the cooked shredded turkey and frozen peas and carrots, then mix in one cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Spread the noodle mixture evenly into the greased baking dish. Top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkle with breadcrumbs if using.
  6. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
