Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 12 ounces uncooked spaghetti

Sauce and Filling

  • 2 (10.5 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or chopped

Toppings

  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and position the oven rack in the top third to ensure even baking and browning.
  2. Cook the Spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook it for 2 minutes less than the package directions to keep it slightly firm, preventing overcooking when baked.
  3. Prepare the Sauce and Turkey Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, chicken broth, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir in the cooked turkey until well mixed.
  4. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Drain the cooked spaghetti thoroughly, then transfer it to a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Pour the prepared sauce and turkey mixture over the spaghetti and toss everything together to coat evenly.
  5. Add Cheese Toppings: Spread the mixture evenly in the casserole dish. Sprinkle the freshly grated parmesan cheese followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  6. Bake and Finish: Bake the casserole uncovered for 20 minutes or until the dish is hot and bubbly. For a golden cheesy crust, optionally broil for a few minutes—keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Notes

  • Using turkey broth instead of chicken broth can enhance the turkey flavor.
  • For a creamier texture, add a bit more sour cream or a splash of heavy cream.
  • If canned condensed soup is not available, you can substitute with homemade mushroom sauce.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
