Turkey Tetrazzini is a classic American casserole dish that combines turkey, pasta, and a creamy sauce with a touch of wine. It’s a wonderful way to use up leftover turkey, especially after holidays like Thanksgiving. The dish is baked until bubbly and golden, making it the perfect comfort food.
Ingredients:- 12 oz fettuccine or spaghetti- 4 tbsp unsalted butter- 1 medium onion, finely chopped- 2 garlic cloves, minced- 10 oz mushrooms, sliced- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour- 3 cups chicken or turkey broth- 1 cup heavy cream- 1/4 cup sherry or dry white wine- 3 cups cooked turkey, shredded or cubed- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley- Salt and pepper to taste- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
Directions:1. Cook the Pasta: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.2. Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.3. Mix the Sauce: Gradually whisk in the broth, cream, and wine. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the shredded turkey, thawed peas, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, and the cooked pasta. Mix until everything is well combined.4. Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with remaining Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and breadcrumbs.5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.
