TURKEY TETRAZZINI
This recipe comes from a cookbook our church compiled. It's convenient because it can be made ahead and frozen. After the holidays, we use leftover turkey to prepare a meal for university students. They clean their plates! -Gladys Waldrop, Clavert City, Kentucky

TURKEY TETRAZZINI
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.

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.

Steps:
- Boil chicken until tender, cool, debone, and cut into pieces. Set aside. Reserve broth.
- Cook spaghetti in broth until tender; drain. (NOTE: If you're using leftover chicken or turkey you can cook the spaghetti in purchased chicken broth. The broth adds a lot of flavor, but it's optional. If you don't have it, just cook the spaghetti in salted water.).
- Place drained spaghetti in a very large bowl. Add cooked chicken.
- In a skillet saute the pepper in butter. Add mushrooms and saute a few minutes more. Add to spaghetti along with remaining ingredients except the parmesan. Mix it well.
- Put in a greased 9 x 13" casserole dish, and what's left in a second smaller greased casserole (this makes a lot. Don't worry, it freezes well and the leftovers taste even better the next day).
- At this point you can cook both casseroles, or cover one and place in the freezer to enjoy later.
- When you're ready to cook the casserole, sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and bubbly.
- REMEMBER: Don't add parmesan until baking time if you're freezing casseroles.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your spaghetti tetrazzini the best flavor.
- Cook the pasta al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is still slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and will not hold up well in the casserole.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in spaghetti tetrazzini, so it's important to use a cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese will give the casserole a bold flavor, while a mild cheese like mozzarella will give it a creamier flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make spaghetti tetrazzini, so feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. You can add different vegetables, meats, or cheeses to the casserole, or you can change the type of pasta that you use.
Conclusion:
Spaghetti tetrazzini is a delicious and easy-to-make casserole that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its creamy sauce, tender pasta, and flavorful cheese, spaghetti tetrazzini is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
