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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
