I was searching on the internet for a way to use a leftover smoked turkey breast, from a previous turkey cook, in a casserole when I came upon a recipe at Campbell's Kitchen for a turkey noodle casserole. The posted casserole turned out to be similar to a classic tuna noodle casserole but uses turkey instead. Perfect foundation for my casserole. Took the basic concept of the recipe and added my personal touches to reflect my preferences and taste.

When there's 2 of you left at home and you smoke a 14 lb turkey you start looking for lots of ways of using up turkey leftovers ... I like to stock up on 10 to 15 lb turkeys that are available during the holiday season when their costs are practically nil or very little per pound.
