Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 onion, chopped
1 (8 ounce) package white mushrooms, sliced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups milk
1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 cups cubed leftover cooked turkey
1 cup peas
1/2 (8 ounce) package egg noodles, or more to taste
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup bread crumbs

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2 Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add celery, onion, and mushrooms; cook until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle flour over celery mixture; stir to coat.
3 Stir milk, cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg into celery mixture; cook and stir until cream cheese melted and sauce is warmed through, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in turkey and peas.
4 Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet slightly firm, about 5 minutes. Drain. Stir noodles into turkey mixture; transfer to the prepared baking dish.
5 Place remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted. Cool. Stir Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs into melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over noodle mixture.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until top is browned and sauce is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
