Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb bacon
2 tablespoons water
½ white onion, diced small
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 cup whole milk
1 can cream of chicken soup, 8 ounce (225 G)
1 can cream of mushroom soup, 8 ounce (225 G)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 cups colby jack cheese, divided and grated
½ cup parmesan cheese, divided and grated
1 lb Charter Reserve® Goldenroast Special Recipe Turkey Breast, deli,sliced, cut into 1/2 in (1.2 cm) pieces
1 bag frozen broccoli, 14 ounce (395 G)
1 lb penne pasta, cooked for 2 minutes less than package instructions
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9" X 13" (22x33 cm) pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a medium skillet over high heat, add bacon and water. Cook, stirring every 2 minutes until bacon is crispy (about 10 minutes). Once the bacon is crispy, remove it from the pan using a slotted spoon and set aside. Leave bacon fat in the skillet.
  • In the skillet with the remaining bacon fat, add the onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Remove from heat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together bacon, onion, thyme, whole milk, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, kosher salt, 2 cups (200 G) of Colby-Jack cheese, and a ¼ cup (25 G) grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Add in Charter Reserve® Goldenroast Special Recipe Turkey Breast, frozen broccoli, and cooked penne, mixing to coat everything evenly with the cheese and soup mixture.
  • Pour half the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of Colby-Jack cheese. Add the rest of the pasta on top.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the panko bread crumbs, melted butter, and remaining ¼ cup (25 G) of Parmesan cheese and sprinkle evenly on top of the pasta mixture.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and bread crumbs are golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven. Let cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with parsley and serving.
  • Enjoy!

I'm not a huge fan of turkey, but I really enjoyed this dish. The cheese and pasta were so good that I didn't even notice the turkey.
