Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package uncooked spaghetti
0.5 cup butter
0.5 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups milk
1.67 cups grated Parmesan cheese
4 cups chopped cooked turkey

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish for easy cleanup.
Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and transfer the cooked spaghetti to the prepared baking dish.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth and lightly golden, approximately 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk. Stir continuously until the mixture gently boils and thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 1/3 cups of cheese until melted and smooth; remove from heat.
Combine the creamy broth mixture and leftover turkey with the cooked spaghetti. Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup of cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven until the topping is lightly browned and bubbly, approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
