Turkey Tetrazzini
10 ounces mushrooms, sliced thin (about 4 C.)
5 T. unsalted butter
1/4 C. all purpose flour
1 3/4 C. milk
2 C. chicken broth
1/4 C. dry white wine
10 oz. spaghetti
3 C. coarsely chopped cooked turkey, including cooked giblets if desired
1 C. cooked peas
2/3 C. freshly grated Parmesan
1/3 C. fine fresh bread crumbs
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.
