Ingredients
- 12 ounces spaghetti
- 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 8 ounces brown mushrooms sliced
- ½ medium yellow onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese divided in half
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese divided in half
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese divided in half
- 1 ½ tablespoons Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups turkey cooked, chopped
Optional
- parsley fresh chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling water according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and onions and sauté for 5 minutes until tender. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 1 minute while stirring continuously. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring until smooth.
- Add ½ cup each of Monterey Jack, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese, along with the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheeses melt and the sauce is creamy.
- Stir in the turkey until combined, then remove the pan from heat.
- Spread the cooked spaghetti in the prepared baking dish. Pour the sauce over the pasta and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle the remaining cheeses evenly over the top.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the casserole is hot, bubbling, and lightly browned on top. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
