This casserole! When I first made it, I had three requirements.
- Quick and easy!
- Yummy (a/k/a cheesy)
- Low carb
When I first tasted it, I thought three things.
- This doesn’t taste like turkey.
- This definitely doesn’t taste low carb.
- Oh my goodness, YUM, I need more!
This Keto Leftover Turkey “Noodle” Casserole will forevermore be a holiday (day-after) leftover tradition in our house. FYI, the “noodles” are angel hair cabbage, but you’ll never know it. Cabbage is low-calorie and rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
