Ingredients:
- 1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more for the pasta water
- 12 oz. bow-tie pasta
- 6 tbsp. salted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lb. white mushrooms, quartered
- 1 c. dry white wine
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 4 c. turkey or chicken broth, plus more if needed
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, cubed and softened
- 3 c. shredded or diced leftover roast turkey
- 1 10-ounce box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 c. shredded Italian cheese blend
- 1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 c. breadcrumbs
How to cook:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Drain.
- Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Throw in the mushrooms, then add the wine and ½ teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces by half, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mixture, then stir to combine. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until the sauce is thick, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Stir in the cream cheese until incorporated. (Don’t worry if it seems a little lumpy at first. That will go away!)
- Add the turkey, spinach, cheese blend and parmesan. Stir until combined; add the remaining ½ teaspoon salt andpepper to taste. Stir in the pasta. If the mixture is too thick, splash in ½ cup more broth.
- Pour the whole shebang into a large casserole dish and smooth the surface. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the microwave. Mix with the breadcrumbs, then sprinkle on the casserole. Bake until bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes.

- Cook pasta until not quite done - al dente according to package instructions (it will finish cooking in the oven.)
- Drain, rinse, and set aside.
- In a large pot, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute for a couple of minutes. Add mushrooms and salt, then saute for a couple more minutes.
- Pour in the wine and allow it to cook with the mushrooms for several minutes, or until the liquid reduces by half.
- Sprinkle in flour, then stir the mushrooms around for another minute. Pour in the broth and stir, cooking for another few minutes until the roux thickens.
- Reduce heat to medium low. Cut cream cheese into pieces and add it to the pot. Stir it to melt (don't be concerned if the cream cheese remains in little bits for awhile; it'll melt eventually!) Add the leftover turkey, the olives, the peas, the bacon, and the cheeses. Stir to combine, adding salt and pepper as needed.
- Add the cooked spaghetti and stir it to combine. Splash in more broth as needed; you want the mixture to have a little extra moisture since it will cook off in the oven. If it's a little soupy, that's fine! Add up to 2 more cups of liquid if you think it needs it.
- Pour the mixture into a large baking dish and sprinkle the top with Panko crumbs.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the crumbs are golden brown.
