This classic casserole is so easy to make and works well with either leftover turkey or fresh turkey cutlets. You can also substitute flavored bread crumbs for the plain ones and jarred, roasted red pepper for the fresh variety. âShannon Weddle, Berryville, Virginia Ingredients:
1 package (16 ounces) spaghetti |
2 medium onions, chopped |
9 tablespoons butter, divided |
1 pound sliced fresh mushrooms |
1 large sweet red pepper, chopped |

1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules |
6 cups cubed cooked turkey breast |
1 cup grated parmesan cheese |
