Turkey Leftovers? Try Turkey Tetrazzini

Thanksgiving was a quiet day with just the four of us. We had an 8 lb turkey breast and all the traditional sides. And now we have leftovers. So I dug out this recipe we had from a few years ago. This is really quick and easy to make.and uses 4 cups of your leftover turkey.

1/4 cup butter, melted

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup half and half

4 cups cooked turkey, cut up

1 (2 ounce jar) chopped pimentos

1/2 pound spaghetti, cooked and drained (half a package)

1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

In a 4-cup glass measure or bowl, combine butter and flour.

Gradually add chicken broth and half and half, stirring until smooth.

Microwave at medium high power (7) 5 to 6 minutes until thickened, stirring every 2 minutes.

Combine sauce, turkey, pimento, spaghetti, mushrooms, salt and pepper; blend well.

Spoon into a 3-quart baking dish. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Cover well and freeze.

When ready to bake, remove from freezer and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 45–50 minutes.
