Are there Thursday leftovers in your refrigerator? Each person in our family love those leftovers and want a 'favorite'--be it just turkey sandwich or turkey ala king, turkey tetrazzini, turkey salad, turkey gumbo--we could eat turkey for days after the BIG day! What is your favorite?
Here is my recipe for turkey tetrazzini: which is my family favorite!
INGREDIENTS
- 12 oz dry spaghetti
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion diced
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 2 1/4 cups chicken broth
- 1 1/3 cups half & half or light cream
- Juice of one lemon
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 cups chopped turkey
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, topping
- splash of white wine, if on hand
Prepare spaghetti in boiling salted water. In a saute pan, melt butter, brown chopped onion in butter, then add flour to make a roux. Add liquid--chicken broth and half/half, stir till thick; then add chopped turkey, juice of one lemon, salt and pepper, mix in cheese--
place the cooked spaghetti in a greased casserole dish, pour the turkey mixture over spaghetti, mix together; on top sprinkle parmesan cheese--sometimes, I'll sprinkle some fine bread crumbs on top to get a nice crunch. Bake at 350* for about 30-40 minutes till bubbly around the edges. Serve to the waiting crowd!
Can be prepared ahead, frozen and then served at a later date.
Enjoy your leftovers or in our house we call it "must go"!
