Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
In a 3 quart pot, melt butter and add the flour. Cook, stirring with a whisk for one minute over low heat. Add the milk, bring to a boil whisking.
Add the chicken stock, continue whisking- raise heat to medium. Cook until a nice thickened white sauce, about 5 minutes.
Add salt & pepper and sherry and stir to incorporate.
Take off heat, add 1/2 cup of jarlsberg cheese and parmesan cheese. Fold in the cooked spaghetti, vegetables, turkey and parsley.
Transfer the mixture into a 8″ X 10″ buttered ovenproof pan. Add a drop more milk or chicken broth if needed.
Top with remaining 1/2 cup jarlsberg cheese.
Bake in a slow 325 degree oven until bubbly, about 15 – 20 minutes and serve.
Broil until golden – just a minute or two if desired.
* Vegetable Suggestions: (1 cup of a combination of these)
Cooked, tender-crisp: sliced celery, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, peas and peppers.
Add some leftover veggies from Thanksgiving – green beans and asparagus, 1 ” lengths.
Can also add cooked potatoes or sweet potatoes (not candied) – 1/2″ pieces.

So I made this tonight.
I substituted evap milk because I had no milk in the house and farmers cheese for jarlsberg. No sherry so I used a splash of white wine. I flipped the proportions of veggies to turkey using brussel sprouts and raw carrots/onions as well as left over home made sweet potato fries.
I actually got a compliment from my husband. He does most of the cooking and tends to be stingy with praise.
As we say in our house, ‘This recipe is a keeper’. Thanks.
I’m happy this recipe is a “keeper” in your home! Great that you used ingredients you had on hand. Sounds delicious. Karen
