Turkey Tetrazinni


Makes 2 9x13 pans


Break spaghetti into smaller pieces.
Boil 1 lb spaghetti in large pot of boiling salted water.
Sauce - follow white sauce directions
  • 3/4 c. butter
  • 3/4 c. flour
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1 qt. whole milk
  • 2 c. turkey stock or canned chicken stock
Boil for 2 minutes
Separate 4 eggs
Add hot mixture, very slowly to egg yolks, whisking
When the yolks are hot, return to pan
Add 1 c. heavy cream and 1/2 c. dry sherry
Cook slowly, do NOT boil
Stir 2 c. sauce into the spaghetti
Divide in half and smoosh it around the edge of the two 9x13 pans
You may line one with foil and freeze it for later
Mix 2 c. sauce with 6 c. diced cooked turkey
(add extra sauce if it looks like it needs more)
Add 2 cans mushrooms - if desired
Divide in half and pile in the center of the pans
Top each pan with 1 c. sharp cheddar cheese, grated
Cover with foil
Refrigerate one hour or over night
To freeze, seal with foil and put in freezer.
Thaw 1 hour unwrapped
Bake 1 hr at 350 or until it bubbles
(frozen one might take a bit longer)
Reheat extra sauce to spoon over.
Rather than putting pasta around the edge and turkey in the middle you can just mix it all together like a casserole.
