Terrific Turkey (Or Chicken) Tetrazzini image

After turkey soup, this is my go-to recipe for post-holiday turkey leftovers. It's easy, yet is somewhat more upscale than a plain old noodle casserole. It was created out of necessity but is now made by request!

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion
16 ounces sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped celery
3 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2/3 cup half-and-half
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups chopped cooked turkey or 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 cup frozen peas (no need to thaw)
8 ounces tagliatelle pasta noodles or 8 ounces fettuccine
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In medium saucepan, heat 2 olive oil. Add onion, mushrooms, and celery, and saute until tender, then set aside.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions and drain.
  • In large skillet, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, then slowly add half-and-half, and then broth. Bring to a boil and thicken, stirring constantly. Whisk in sherry and spices, then stir in chopped turkey, frozen peas, and reserved onion mixture. Add pasta and stir until evenly coated with sauce.
  • Spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Pour in noodle and sauce mixture, then top with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes, until bubbly. You can also just run this under the broiler for a few minutes to brown. Enjoy!

I made this dish for my family last night, and they loved it! The turkey was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was rich and creamy. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables, and it was a perfect meal.

This was a delicious and easy dish to make! I used chicken instead of turkey, and it turned out great. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
