Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Spaghetti
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz Button mushrooms, sliced
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 cups Shredded cooked turkey
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until just shy of al dente, about 1-2 minutes less than package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are golden brown and any liquid has evaporated, about 5-6 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion-mushroom mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, cooking until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the shredded turkey, frozen peas, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Remove from heat.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet or transfer everything to a large mixing bowl. Toss until the noodles are fully coated in the creamy sauce.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella, and panko breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the pasta.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and drizzle over the breadcrumb topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
