Ingredients

• 3 cups Cooked turkey (shredded or diced)
• 12 ounces Spaghetti (broken into thirds, uncooked)
• 8 ounces Mushrooms (sliced)
• 2 cans Cream of mushroom soup
• 2.5 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 unit Chicken bouillon cube (optional, for extra flavor)

Directions

Step 1

Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or line it with a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms, and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, parsley, and thyme. Cook for 1 additional minute until fragrant, then remove from heat.

Step 4

In the crock pot, combine the cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, heavy cream, and the sautéed mixture. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Add the uncooked spaghetti and gently stir to coat the noodles in the sauce.

Step 6

Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Step 7

Layer the cooked turkey on top of the spaghetti and sprinkle the optional chicken bouillon cube if desired.

Step 8

Cover and cook on low for 3 hours. Gently stir halfway through cooking to ensure the pasta cooks evenly.

Step 9

After 3 hours, stir in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup mozzarella cheese over the top.

Step 10

Cover and cook for an additional 30-60 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the pasta is tender.

Step 11

Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
