Turkey Tetrazzini
Description
This recipe starts by cooking spaghetti to al dente, then preparing a sauce by sautéing butter, diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms until soft. Flour is added to thicken, followed by chicken broth and cream, which are brought to a boil to develop a thick sauce. Cream cheese melts into the sauce, giving it a creamy texture, and seasoning with parsley and Italian herbs provides flavor.
Spaghetti is combined with cooked turkey and part of the mozzarella, then placed in a greased baking dish and topped with remaining mozzarella. Covered baking for 20 minutes warms the mixture, and a final sprinkle of Parmesan before uncovered baking creates a golden, bubbly top. This dish offers a creamy, rich texture with flavors of poultry, mushrooms, and cheese blended harmoniously.
