One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is the leftover turkey recipes! This turkey noodle skillet is packed with shredded turkey, noodles, broccoli, and corn. A perfect creamy noodle dish that is full of flavor, tons of veggies, and most of all, easy to make. When it comes to one pot meals, this one definitely is a favorite with everyone in our family.

Turkey Noodle Skillet
Leftover turkey results in delicious homemade turkey stock, but also tons of yummy recipes like this one that are ideal for weeknights when you are busy but want a hearty meal. One of the things I love most about this recipe is that it is satisfying enough for the meat and potatoes fan in your life, but also easy to serve to a picky eater like a young child. Whole wheat noodles are a better choice for you, and the addition of broccoli and corn make it delicious and healthier.
I'm always happy to have a healthier option for a one pot or skillet meal. This may be my favorite, but you can also whip up a big bowl of turkey chili or even turkey pot pie. Both are delicious and easy to prepare. For lighter fare, you can reach for leftover turkey salad or even this sunflower crunch salad with turkey.
What Vegetables Can I Add to This Recipe?
Broccoli and cream corn are two that everyone in my family enjoy. So, it's natural to add those to the recipe. The best part of this meal, however, is that you can truly adjust it with any vegetables you prefer. I find a mixture of textures is best, but below are some ideas that would work well in this mixture of turkey, noodles, and delicious sauce.
- Cauliflower
- Apsaragus
- Zucchini
- Squash
- Mushrooms
- Whole kernel corn
- Green peas
- Okra
- Bell pepper
- Onions
Can I Make This with Chicken Instead?
You can definitely use chicken in this recipe if you don't have turkey on hand. This was inspired by leftover turkey, but can be made with chicken just as easily. It's so simple and delicious that you'll keep it on your menu year round. Another great option is to use shredded leftover rotisserie chicken if you need for a fast and easy meal!

The Nutrition Information says 5 servings, and then gives the calories, fat, and fiber. Are those the totals for ALL 5 servings? or PER serving?
Thanks! I want to try this recipe this week! 🙂
