Here's everything you need for this mouthwatering turkey tetrazzini. You need 20 minutes of prep time and 1 hour and 15 minutes of cooking time for this recipe that makes between four and six servings.

Let's Get Started… 

Ingredients To Gather:

• 12 ounces mushrooms, sliced (about 4-5 cups)
• 8 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided 3 Tbsp, 4 Tbsp, and 1 Tbsp
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 12 oz egg noodles, spaghetti, linguini or other pasta
• 1 1/2 cups of milk
• 1/4 cup cream
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1/4 cup dry sherry (or vermouth or dry white wine)
• 3 cups coarsely chopped cooked turkey
• 1 cup peas
• 2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan (divided into 1/3 and 1/3 cups)
• 1/3 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice
• Salt and Pepper
• Ground nutmeg (optional)
• 1/3 cup fine fresh bread crumbs (or panko)
• Freshly chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions To Follow:

1. Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, and then heating 2 or 3 quarts of water to cook the pasta in.
2. Add 1 tsp. of salt for each quart of water.
3. Next, cook the mushrooms in 3 tbsp. of butter over medium-high heat for between 5 and 7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated.
4. When they're done, set them aside and then make a roux by melting 4 tbsp. of butter in a large, heavy saucepan, and gradually whisking in milk, cream, chicken broth, and sherry.
5. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for between 5 and 8 minutes.
6. Next, drain the pasta when it's done and then in a large bowl combine the pasta, sauce, mushrooms, turkey, and peas.
7. Add 1/3 cup each of the Parmesan and Swiss cheese, stir to mix well, and then stir in the lemon juice.
8. Add salt and pepper to taste, and then transfer the mixture to a buttered 3-quart casserole dish.
9. Now, make the Parmesan breadcrumb topping by the breadcrumbs and the rest of the Parmesan cheese.
10. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the pasta, and then use 1 tbsp. of butter cut into pieces as a topping. Finally, bake the tetrazzini for between 30 and 40 minutes or until the top is golden and it bubbles.

Finished!

We just love this turkey tetrazzini with a light dinner salad on the side, or maybe a few breadsticks. It's also great with some fresh parsley as a garnish.

Happy Baking & Enjoy!
