Chicken and Noodles (Or Turkey)

MommyMakes's Note:

This is easy kid-friendly comfort food thats great for using up leftover turkey or chicken. Serve it with some bread and veggies. I make it fairly bland for my kids, so taste and salt and pepper whenever needed.

7. Stir in milk and cook until very hot and smooth, about 3 minutes.
8. Put drained noodles in a bowl with chicken or turkey and pour sauce over, toss thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
