CHICKEN OR TURKEY TETRAZZINI



Chicken or Turkey Tetrazzini image

This is my version of my husband's favorite casserole. It is a great way to use up the leftovers from the holiday turkey. You can also use the meat from the ready to eat rotisserie chickens availabe in grocery stores. Traditionally my mother-in-law cooked the chickens in a large stock pot with vegetables and poultry seasoning and picked the meat from the bones for the casserole and used the stock for soups.

Provided by Julesong

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 tablespoons butter, divided
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 lb sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup cream or 1 cup half-and-half
4 tablespoons sherry wine
8 ounces grated parmesan cheese, divided
4 cooked chicken breasts or 4 cups cooked turkey, meat cut into bite-sized pieces
1 lb spaghetti, cooked
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a skillet melt 2 tablespoons butter and sauté the mushrooms and onions until soft; remove from pan and set aside.
  • Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and stir in 2 tablespoons flour; cook over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes to make a roux, stirring constantly (the flour should turn a nice golden color, but be careful not to burn).
  • Add chicken broth and garlic and cook over low heat for 1 minute.
  • Stir in the sherry and 3/4 of the Parmesan cheese; add the sautéed onions/mushrooms and stir until cheese melts, then stir in the cream or half and half.
  • Combine the sauce, cooked and cut-up chicken or turkey, and cooked spaghetti noodles in a large bowl, then spread the mixture into a lightly-buttered/oiled large casserole.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until the top begins to brown; combine the remaining Parmesan with the bread crumbs, then sprinkle it over the casserole and bake for 5 minutes longer.
  • Adapted from a post by peggy at Gail's Recipe Swap, who got it from Gourmet Magazine.
  • Pat-NoCal's notes: This is delicious. I didn't have pimientos so I sauteed some red bell pepper with the mushrooms. Recipe is easily halved. Next time I might use slightly less spaghetti for better sauce coverage.
  • nlb's notes to Peggy: I made your Turkey Tetrazzini tonight and it was absolutely wonderful. I only tweaked this recipe a teensy bit by putting one smashed clove of garlic in the sauce, using roasted red peppers, and medium egg noodles instead of spaghetti. I used the Madeira too and it adds a great dimension to this delicious sauce.

This is so simple, so yummy and a great way of using up leftover chicken or turkey-especially over the holidays.

A real crowd pleaser!

TURKEY TETRAZZINI



Turkey Tetrazzini image

This classic turkey or chicken spaghetti casserole is rich with cheese and has a crunchy bread crumb topping. It was named after Luisa Tetrazzini, a famous Italian opera star at the turn of the 20th century. She enjoyed her fame with a flamboyant and generous public life, singing not only in opera houses but also for free on city streets: In 1910 she gave an outdoor Christmas Eve concert for a huge crowd in San Francisco. It's unclear exactly how this particular dish came to be named after her - it was certainly meant as a compliment - but some accounts say it was her own recipe. The optional curry powder isn't traditional, but it's delicious, and a little added flair seems in the spirit of Ms. Tetrazzini.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Salt
1 pound spaghetti or linguine
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound cremini mushrooms, any tough or dry stems discarded, sliced
8 garlic cloves, chopped
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon mild curry powder (optional)
1 cup dry white wine
4 cups chicken or turkey stock or broth
8 ounces cream cheese, cut into chunks
3 cups shredded or chopped leftover cooked turkey or chicken
1 cup frozen peas
1 heaping cup grated Parmesan (4 ounces)
1 cup shredded or grated fontina (4 ounces)
Black pepper
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until just shy of al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directs. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  • Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat, and add the mushrooms. Season lightly with salt, and cook, stirring only occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and have started to brown deeply, 8 to 11 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the flour and curry powder, if using. Stir well, until the flour and the mushrooms are evenly combined and the flour is evenly moistened, about 1 minute. Whisk in the white wine, and let it come to a boil, whisking constantly. Let the wine bubble to reduce slightly, 2 minutes. Whisk in the chicken stock, and let it come to a boil. Cook until it thickens noticeably, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low. Whisk in the chunks of cream cheese (don't worry if the cream cheese appears curdled), then fold in the turkey, peas and the cheeses. Season generously with black pepper. Add the drained pasta and toss with tongs to combine. Taste and add salt if necessary.
  • Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a small bowl in the microwave, and toss it together with the panko and the almonds. Sprinkle the panko-almond mixture all over the top of the pasta, and bake until bubbly and browned on top, about 25 minutes. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. It will be very creamy at first but will firm up as it cools.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh or dried mushrooms, tender chicken or turkey, and creamy Alfredo sauce are all essential for a delicious Tetrazzini.
  • Don't overcook the pasta or chicken/turkey. Cook them just until they are tender, or they will become dry and tough.
  • If you don't have Alfredo sauce on hand, you can make your own by melting butter, whisking in flour, and then gradually whisking in milk until the sauce thickens.
  • For a richer Tetrazzini, use heavy cream instead of milk in the Alfredo sauce.
  • Add a cup of grated Parmesan cheese to the Alfredo sauce for extra flavor.
  • Top the Tetrazzini with bread crumbs or crushed crackers before baking for a crispy topping.

Conclusion:

Turkey or Chicken Tetrazzini is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy Alfredo sauce, tender chicken or turkey, and flavorful mushrooms, Tetrazzini is sure to please everyone at the table.
