Chef John's Turkey Noodle Casserole

Recipesfull introduces to you: Turkey Recipes. (Chef John's Turkey Noodle Casserole). 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. Since ingredients like garam masala, spicy cheese, and peppers aren't typically used in the meal, they work wonderfully here to disguise the last of a holiday bird.
