Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces spaghetti or linguine
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded cooked turkey
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the spaghetti or linguine in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, then remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps remain. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, and cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
Stir the heavy cream into the saucepan and season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix well and remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey, cooked chicken, sautéed mushroom mixture, and cooked pasta. Pour the creamy sauce over the top and toss to coat evenly.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and bread crumbs evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the Turkey Chicken Tetrazzini cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
