This dish holds up well, ensuring you can enjoy your delicious creation for lunch or dinner the next day.

If you anticipate having leftovers, consider keeping the turkey separate from the noodles and vegetables until ready to serve. This will help maintain the crispiness of the turkey and the texture of the noodles, preventing them from becoming soggy.
