Ingredients

• 8 ounces spaghetti
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken or turkey broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.25 cup dry sherry
• 3 cups cooked turkey, shredded or cubed
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are browned and their liquid has evaporated.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and mushroom mixture and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the chicken or turkey broth, stirring constantly, followed by the heavy cream and dry sherry. Continue stirring and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the shredded turkey, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the turkey is coated in the sauce.

Step 8

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss gently until evenly combined. If the skillet is too small, transfer to a large mixing bowl to combine.

Step 9

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 10

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, followed by the breadcrumbs.

Step 11

Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and drizzle it over the breadcrumbs for extra crispiness.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown.

Step 13

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
