Cook, over low heat, for about 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove sauce from heat and stir in the cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Fold in the mushrooms and turkey.

If you wish, slide casserole under the broiler for a moment to brown the top.

SPAGHETTI TETRAZZINI

Steps:

• I remember meeting a lovely old couple outside my parents' pub and when they heard I was going to Italy they told me to make sure I cooked turkey tetrazzini. I hadn't a clue what they were talking about and then, by chance, I saw a recipe for chicken tetrazzini in an old Italian cookbook and it's great, really tacky but gorgeous! Here's my version...
• Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6. Put your porcini mushrooms in a bowl and pour over just enough boiling water to cover them (approx. 150ml/5½fl oz). Put to one side to soak for a few minutes. Heat a saucepan big enough to hold all the ingredients, and pour in a splash of olive oil. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and brown them gently in the oil. Strain the porcini, reserving the soaking water, and add them to the pan with the garlic and fresh mushrooms. Add the wine, with the strained porcini soaking water, and turn the heat down. Simmer gently until the chicken pieces are cooked through and the wine has reduced a little.
• Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions and drain well. Add the cream to the pan of chicken, then bring to the boil and turn the heat off. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the drained spaghetti to the creamy chicken sauce and toss well. Add three-quarters of the Parmesan and all of the basil and stir well. Transfer to an ovenproof baking dish or non-stick pan, sprinkle with half the remaining cheese and bake in the oven until golden brown, bubbling and crisp. Divide between your plates, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese before serving.

TOP-NOTCH TURKEY TETRAZZINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain well. Keep warm.
• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir mushrooms and onions until onions begin to turn translucent and mushrooms release some liquid, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minutes. Add flour, stirring constantly, until thoroughly incorporated in the butter and begins to bubble, about 2 minutes.
• Mix the Swanson® Chicken Broth and half-and-half together; pour gradually into mushroom mixture, whisking until it is smooth. Season with salt, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce and continue cooking until mixture begins to thicken, about 3 minutes. Mix in turkey and peas. Remove from heat.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and panko bread crumbs, mixing until crumbly. Remove from heat.
• Place 1/2 of the spaghetti in the bottom of prepared casserole dish. Spoon 1/2 of the sauce mixture over the spaghetti. Repeat the layer with the remaining spaghetti and sauce. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the top.
• Bake in preheated oven until bubbly and the top is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Top with chopped fresh parsley.
