Turkey Noodle Casserole Aka Turkey Mess! - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 slices pancetta or 3 slices bacon, finely chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
16 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 lb ground turkey
3 cups egg noodles
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
2 -3 tablespoons Italian spices
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded

Preparation

In a large sautee pan, fry pancetta. Cook till done, but not crisp. When done, pull out, pat with paper towel to blot off excess grease, hold pancetta to side.
In same pan, add garlic,onions, and mushrooms. Add the water, if using a non-stick pan. If not, add the butter.Cook till onions are translucent, but slightly firm and till mushrooms are done. If you added water, DRAIN NOW! If not, proceed to the next step! (I usually preheat the over to 350 before I add the turkey, gives the oven plenty of time to preheat).
In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil, cook noodles.
After the onion-mushroom mixture is done, add the ground turkey. Add Italian seasonings and cayenne pepper. Taste after turkey is cooked thoroughly, adjust seasonings as you wish.
Next, add the cream of mushroom soup while still on the heat, just to mix everything nicely.
Once the noodles are done, place them a medium casserole dish. Pour turkey soup mixture over top. Stir to combine, add cheese. Top with pancetta.
Hit till bubbly and ENJOY!
