Preparation
Step 1
Melt butter in a large saucepan. Sauté onion, garlic, celery and mushrooms. Cook 7,8 min until vegetables are tender and any liquid has evaporated. Sprinkle mixture with flour and cook a few minutes. Add milk and bring to a boil.
Add salt, pepper, nutmeg and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk in Cream cheese a little at a time. (Do not worry if Cream cheese does not melt completely.) Cook gently 5 minutes. Add turkey or chicken and peas. Combine well.
Meanwhile cook noodles. Drain well. Combine with sauce mixture. Place in a buttered 13 x 9-inch (33 x 23 cm) casserole. Combine Parmesan cheese with breadcrumbs and butter. Sprinkle over top of casserole.
Place casserole on a baking sheet to catch any spills. Bake in a preheated 350 °F (180 °C) oven for 30 min or until browned and bubbling. Allow to rest 5 to 10 min before serving.
