Creating Kentucky Hot Brown Mac & Cheese is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cook Macaroni: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the macaroni until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Make Cheese Sauce: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to combine, cooking for about 2 minutes.
4. Add Milk: Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens and bubbles, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Add Cheeses: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until melted and smooth. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
6. Combine: Stir the cooked macaroni, turkey, and half of the bacon into the cheese sauce until well combined.
7. Transfer: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
8. Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and the remaining bacon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the mac and cheese.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
10. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
