Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until almost cooked through yet still firm to the bite, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain.

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour; cook and stir until light golden, about 3 minutes.
4

Pour in milk, whisking constantly. Stir in soup, bell peppers, green onions, garam masala, and tarragon; bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Off heat, stir in pepper Jack cheese until melted and incorporated.
5
|
Combine cheese mixture, turkey, and noodles in a large bowl until evenly incorporated; pour into a large casserole dish. Sprinkle chips on top, slightly pressing down with the tines of a fork.

Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown and sauce is bubbling, about 30 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Chip Crunch Mastery 🥣
    Reserve some crushed potato chips to sprinkle on top just before baking for maximum crispiness and textural contrast.
  • Cheese Melting Technique 🧀
    Grate the pepperjack cheese fresh and mix half into the sauce, then sprinkle the remaining on top for a more complex, layered cheese flavor.
  • Spice Bloom Trick 🌶️
    Toast the garam masala in the butter for 30 seconds before adding flour to unlock deeper, more intense spice notes in the sauce.
  • Noodle Al Dente Secret 🍜
    Undercook the egg noodles by 2 minutes when boiling, as they'll continue to cook in the creamy casserole and prevent mushy texture.
  • Turkey Moisture Preservation 🦃
    If using leftover turkey, briefly toss cubed meat in a little warm broth before adding to the casserole to prevent dryness.
