It's creamy and cheesy, and sure to get you out of your post-holiday slump. Reviewer ISHKABIBBLEMOM says, "This is a good comfort food...super easy to put together. Just what I needed to use up my turkey leftovers but it made a LOT. I'd advise baking it in a 9x13 baking dish or dividing it between two smaller dishes and freezing one for later."

"This tamale pie will rescue the last remnants of your bird in a significantly more exciting and flavorful way than the usual soup." 04 of 08 Chef John's Turkey Noodle Casserole View Recipe Tyla Ward "This delicious casserole is for leftover leftovers. I don't know about you, but after a few days of eating Thanksgiving leftovers, no matter how tasty they originally were, I want something that makes me forget there's even turkey in it," says Chef John.
