Ingredients

8 oz spaghetti
3 tbsp unsalted butter
8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
1 cup frozen peas
3 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook until mushrooms are golden and onion is soft, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until well combined.
Gradually whisk in chicken broth, milk, and wine (if using). Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove from heat. Stir in peas, turkey, Parmesan cheese, and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add cooked spaghetti to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish and top with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top. Let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with parsley before serving.

Tips

For a richer flavor, substitute half the chicken broth with turkey or mushroom broth.
Leftover rotisserie chicken works great in place of turkey.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
