Turketti image

A yummy casserole that uses leftover turkey. It was a post-Thanksgiving tradition in our home when I was a child. I'm not sure where Mom got it, but it's real comfort food!

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces dry spaghetti
½ small onion, chopped
¼ cup chopped pimientos
¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 cups leftover roast turkey, pulled into bite-sized pieces
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
½ cup chicken broth
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Break spaghetti into 2-inch pieces. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the spaghetti, and return to a boil. Cook the spaghetti uncovered, stirring occasionally, until it has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Combine onion, pimiento, and green pepper with cooked spaghetti, 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, turkey meat, mushroom soup, chicken broth, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix lightly and spread the mixture in the baking dish and top with 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered, in oven for 45 minutes until the casserole is bubbling and cheese topping is melted and browned.
