Creamy turkey tetrazzini is a comforting casserole perfect for using leftover turkey. It combines pasta, mushrooms, and peas in a rich cream sauce, topped with cheese and baked until golden.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 8 ounces spaghetti or egg noodles, cooked and drained
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
  5. Stir in salt and pepper.
  6. Add cooked turkey, peas, cooked spaghetti or egg noodles, and the cooked mushrooms and onions to the sauce. Mix well to combine.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is golden brown.
  10. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute chicken for turkey if you don’t have leftovers.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce for extra flavor.
  • For a richer sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk.
