Yummmmmmmm......

The last of the leftovers went into this. Good, good, good!

Turkey Tetrazzini

4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2-3/4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
pinch ground nutmeg
1/2 cup heavy or whipping cream
1 small onion, chopped
10 ounces mushrooms, trimmed and cut into quarters
8 oz linguine, cooked as label directs
12 ounces cooked turkey, coarsely chopped (3 cups)
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a 2 qt saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook 3 minutes. With wire whisk, whisk in broth, wine, thyme, and nutmeg until smooth. Heat to boiling, whisking constantly. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking frequently, 5 minutes. Stir in cream; set sauce aside.

2. In 10-inch skillet, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes longer.

3. In 2 to 2-1/2 quart shallow casserole, combine cooked linguine, mushroom mixture, and turkey. Stir in sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until bubbly, about 30 minutes. Makes 6 main-dish servings.

My only changes? I used more thyme than that and I cut the mushrooms smaller.

Thumbs up all around the table. Would work just as well, of course, with chicken.
