TURKEY TETRAZZINI

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan cook the mushrooms in 1/4 cup of the butter over moderate heat, stirring, until most of the liquid they give off has evaporated, stir in the flour, and cook the mixture over low heat, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add in a stream the milk, the broth, and the wine, stirring, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring, and simmer the sauce for 5 minutes. In a kettle of boiling salted water cook the spaghetti until it is al dente and drain it well.
• In a large bowl combine well the spaghetti, the mushroom sauce, the turkey, the peas, and salt and pepper to taste, stir in 1/3 cup of the Parmesan, and transfer the mixture to a buttered shallow 3-quart casserole. In a small bowl combine well the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan, the bread crumbs, and salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle the mixture evenly over the Tetrazzini, and dot the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, cut into bits. The Tetrazzini may be prepared up to this point 1 month in advance and kept frozen, covered. Bake the Tetrazzini in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it is bubbling and the top is golden.

TURKEY TETRAZZINI

Steps:

• Cook noodles as directed on package, omitting salt.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in large skillet on medium heat. Add mushrooms; cook and stir until 8 to 10 min. or until tender. Stir in reduced-fat cream cheese and broth. Bring to boil, stirring frequently; simmer on medium-low heat 7 min. or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Stir in turkey and peas; cook 3 to 5 min. or until heated through, stirring frequently.
• Drain noodles. Serve topped with turkey mixture.

TURKEY TETRAZZINI

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until just shy of al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directs. Drain and rinse with cold water.
• Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat, and add the mushrooms. Season lightly with salt, and cook, stirring only occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and have started to brown deeply, 8 to 11 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the flour and curry powder, if using. Stir well, until the flour and the mushrooms are evenly combined and the flour is evenly moistened, about 1 minute. Whisk in the white wine, and let it come to a boil, whisking constantly. Let the wine bubble to reduce slightly, 2 minutes. Whisk in the chicken stock, and let it come to a boil. Cook until it thickens noticeably, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low. Whisk in the chunks of cream cheese (don't worry if the cream cheese appears curdled), then fold in the turkey, peas and the cheeses. Season generously with black pepper. Add the drained pasta and toss with tongs to combine. Taste and add salt if necessary.
• Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a small bowl in the microwave, and toss it together with the panko and the almonds. Sprinkle the panko-almond mixture all over the top of the pasta, and bake until bubbly and browned on top, about 25 minutes. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. It will be very creamy at first but will firm up as it cools.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 7 minutes or according to package instructions. Drain in a colander. Toss with tongs to loosen and separate the strands and place in a large bowl.
• Butter a large casserole dish. Set aside. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and combine in a small bowl with the breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan and the parsley. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the now-empty pasta pot. Add the mushrooms and saute until soft and all the liquid in the pan has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes more. Add the thyme and nutmeg. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Add the flour and stir to combine and coat, about 1 minute. Add the wine, increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Cook until the liquid is reduced, about 1 minute. Add the stock and optional cream and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook until the liquid is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan and stir until combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Pour the mushroom mixture into the bowl with the cooked spaghetti. Add the turkey and peas and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• While still hot, pour the mixture into the buttered casserole dish, sprinkle with the reserved breadcrumb mixture and bake until bubbly and the top is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool slightly before slicing. Serve on warmed plates.

Steps:

• Coat a skillet with oil and put over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic, cook, stirring, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and herbs and saute for 3 to 5 minutes until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mushrooms to a glass bowl, grate in the zest of a lemon, then cover with plastic wrap to infuse the flavor. Set aside.
• Heat the chicken broth in a medium saucepan and keep warm over low heat. Melt butter in the skillet and stir in the flour to make a roux. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Whisk in the warm stock and stir vigorously to avoid lumps. Continue for 5 minutes until the sauce is thickened and smooth. Add the egg, milk, reserved mushrooms, and turkey. Cook and stir until heated through, do not let boil. Fold in the cooked noodles and mix to combine.
• Spoon the mixture into a buttered 9 by 13-inch baking pan and smooth out with a spoon. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and Parmesan. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F until the sauce bubbles and a top crust has formed, 20 to 30 minutes. Garnish with toasted almonds before serving.
