YANKEE DOODLE NOODLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F and butter a 2 1/2- to 3-quart casserole dish.
• Cook the noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water just until al dente and drain in a colander.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter over medium-high heat in a medium-size saucepan.
• Add the onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the flour and continue cooking, stirring constantly, for a minute more.
• Gradually pour in the evaporated milk and sherry and stir until smooth.
• Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, 5 to 7 minutes more.
• Stir in the can of stewed tomatoes and then season the sauce to taste with cayenne, salt and pepper.
• Stir the sauce and noodles together in a large mixing bowl.
• Gently fold the turkey, artichoke hearts and 1 cup of the cheese into the noodle mixture.
• Turn into the prepared casserole dish.
• Sprinkle the remaining cup of cheese over the top of the casserole.
• Bake the casserole until bubbling and lightly browned on top, 35 to 45 minutes.
