We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 x 9 x 3 casserole dish.

  • Step 2: In skillet, saute veggies in oil and butter, just for a couple of minutes. Pour into bowl and set aside.

  • Step 3: In same pan, add oil and butter. Don't skip oil and butter, because they are needed for making sauce with flour to be added later.

  • Step 4: Saute turkey and onion until just done, stir in flour and cook a few minutes longer, so flour browns slightly.

  • Step 5: Add milk slowly, stirring as you go, then add cream, spices and bouillon. Bring to a low boil to thicken, pour into casserole dish, followed by veggies.

  • Step 6: Cook pasta per package directions in salted water. Drain well and pour over veggies.

  • Step 7: Re-using pasta pan, pour in milk, cream and cream cheese. Add spices and cook over medium heat until cream cheese is melted. Add chopped green onions and pour over pasta.

  • Step 8: Sprinkle cheese over pasta and bake 30 minutes or until done. If making ahead, pull out of fridge a couple hours before baking and add 10-15 minutes to baking time.
