Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz spaghetti
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken or turkey broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 cups cooked turkey (shredded or cubed)
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped for garnish)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until fragrant and softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-6 minutes.
Remove the cooked vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to form a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Gradually whisk in the broth and white wine (if using), stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked turkey, sautéed vegetables, and cooked spaghetti to the sauce. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
