Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles, shredded turkey, cream of mushroom soup, milk, thawed peas, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the casserole, followed by the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow it to set.
