Ingredients

10 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced thin (about 4 cups)

4 Tbsp. unsalted butter

¼ c. all-purpose flour

2 c. milk

2 c. chicken broth

10 oz. spaghetti, cooked to al dente

3 c. coarsely chopped cooked turkey

1 c. frozen peas

2/3 c. freshly grated Parmesan

1/3 c. fine fresh bread crumbs

1 Tbsp. melted butter

Directions

In a large heavy saucepan cook the mushrooms in the 4 tablespoons butter over moderate heat, stirring, until most of the liquid has evaporated.

Stir in flour and cook over low heat, stirring, for 3 minutes.

Add in a slow stream the milk and broth, stirring constantly.

Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and simmer for 5 minutes.

In a large bowl combine well spaghetti, mushroom sauce, turkey, peas, and salt and pepper to taste.

Stir in 1/3 cup of the Parmesan and transfer to a buttered shallow 3-quart casserole.

In a small bowl combine the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan, bread crumbs, melted butter, and salt and pepper to taste.

Sprinkle evenly over the tetrazzini. Bake in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until bubbling and the top is golden.

Note: I originally got this recipe from Norm on Martha Stewart's bulletin boards. It has been a favorite ever since. The fresh mushrooms put it over the top, but you can, in a pinch, use canned mushrooms. I also like to use the Radiatore pasta on occasion. Of course, you can use chicken, but we love the turkey.

My Auntie Teresina used to make Turkey Tetrazzini out of T-day leftovers every year, and I've always kicked myself for not getting her recipe. Well, damned if it wasn't almost exactly like this! Thanks for this, it brings back my childhood.

Uhmmmm I left out the pasta, bread crumbs and peas and poured it over stuffing. And to the sauce mixture added a whole head of garlic I roasted the day before. I mashed in up with the sauce. Delicious
