A great way to use leftover roast turkey: spaghetti, mushrooms and turkey in a creamy white wine sauce, topped with a buttery crumb. Slightly undercook the pasta, since it finishes in the oven. Bake until bubbling at the edges and hot throughout.

Ingredients

Serves 6

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and butter a 9x13-inch baking dish. Boil the spaghetti 2 minutes short of the package time; drain.
  2. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the mushrooms and onion 8 minutes until golden.
  3. Sprinkle in the flour and cook 1 minute. Whisk in the broth, half-and-half and wine, and simmer 4 to 5 minutes until thickened.
  4. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan, the salt and pepper. Fold in the spaghetti, turkey and peas, and spread in the dish.
  5. Melt the remaining butter and toss with the panko and remaining Parmesan. Sprinkle over the top.
  6. Bake 25 minutes until bubbling and golden, with the center at least 165°F (74°C). Rest 5 minutes.

Tips and make-ahead notes

  • Use chicken in place of the turkey.
  • Assemble up to a day ahead; add 10 minutes to the bake.
