Delicious with some modifications. I used the basic recipes, but I read through all the comments and here are the changes I made in the order they come up in the recipe.
1. I used a combo of lemon zest and a T. of lemon juice. (My lemon was small and on the dry side.
2. I used cream instead of milk
3. Four cups of turkey chopped
4. I used six T. of butter and 7 T. of flour for my roux
5. Added a 1/2 cup of parmesan to the sauce in addition to the half cup for the top.
6. I used approximately 12 oz. of spaghetti instead of the noodles.
7. The turkey and sauce seemed too thick when it came time to mix with the spaghetti, so I added 3/4 cup of milk to thin it out slightly.
8. I mixed the breadcrumbs (panko and parmesan together to make it easier to spread on the top.

The dish is over the top good! I will make it again! Great company dish as it is a lot of work, but worth the effort!

Such an excellent sauce, just not enough. finished casserole came out very dry and many of the top noodles were browned and crispy - not what I am looking for.

Perhaps an entire 16oz bag of egg noodles is too much - will try again, but with only 8 oz (half bag uncooked of the noodles.

I thought this recipe was light and delicious. I never would have thought of putting lemon with turkey. I questioned the 4lbs of turkey so I used 4 cups, worked great. Light and refreshing use of turkey after the heavy Thanksgiving turkey meal. Better than other TT recipes I have had before.

Quite good. The sauce is on the mild side, but turkey doesn't have that strong of a flavor to begin with, so that's OK. The breadcrumb and cheese topping is the best part. I make this after Thanksgiving each year. The lemon adds a nice touch that brightens up the otherwise heavy dish.

The amounts in this recipe are all wrong. Cut turkey, noodles, and breadcrumbs in half. Apparently, Food Network doesn't test its recipes. Irritating.

This recipe was fun to prepare but I thought the ratio of ingredients was off and the end result was a bland pan of noodles with turkey and mushrooms (but how bad can that be. I knew before I started that 4 pounds of turkey for a pound of noodles was way too much so used just under 2 pounds of meat. This dish needs more seasoning and more or thicker sauce. Not using this recipe again.

After reading other reviews, I decided to pump up this recipe. I used cream instead of milk, added frozen peas, even pimentos, diced carrots and celery. The end result was a tasteless plate of pasta. The culprit may be the amount of pasta this recipe calls for - one pound. It soaked up all of the sauce, leaving a dry casserole.

This is the best recipe for TT that I have found. The only addition I made was white wine in the sauce and it was great. I will be using this recipe every time I have turkey to use up.
