Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz spaghetti (uncooked)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 8 oz white mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3 cups turkey (cooked and shredded)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 0.25 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms and cook for 6-8 minutes until they release their juices and are golden brown.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, cooking for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Stir in the parmesan cheese until melted.
Add the shredded turkey, frozen peas, and optional white wine to the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Combine the cooked spaghetti with the turkey mixture until evenly coated, then transfer everything into the prepared baking dish.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and mix it with the breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the tetrazzini rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
