Creamy Turkey Tetrazzini

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Turkey Tetrazzini.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a casserole dish and give it a nice coat of butter—about 2 teaspoons will do the trick.

3. Step 3

   Next, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil.

4. Step 4

   Once it’s bubbling, toss in the angel hair pasta and let it cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it reaches that perfect al dente texture.

5. Step 5

   Drain the pasta and set it aside for now.

6. Step 6

   In the same large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

7. Step 7

   Add in the chopped celery and sauté it for about a minute until it starts to soften.

8. Step 8

   Then, stir in the sliced mushrooms and keep cooking for another 3 minutes until they’re tender and fragrant.

9. Step 9

   Once done, remove the veggies from the pot and set them aside, letting their delicious aroma linger in the air.

10. Step 10

    Now, let’s make a creamy sauce! In that same pot, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.

11. Step 11

    Whisk in some flour to create a smooth paste, then gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously.

12. Step 12

    Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.

13. Step 13

    Keep whisking until the sauce thickens up beautifully.

14. Step 14

    Once your sauce is ready, stir in the heavy cream, a splash of sherry wine, salt, and a dash of white pepper for flavor.

15. Step 15

    Now it’s time to bring everything together! Fold in the cooked turkey, the sautéed celery, and mushrooms, followed by the angel hair pasta.

16. Step 16

    Mix it all until everything is well combined and coated in that luscious sauce.

17. Step 17

    Transfer this delightful mixture into your prepared casserole dish, and for the finishing touch, sprinkle panko breadcrumbs evenly on top.

18. Step 18

    Pop it into your preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the breadcrumb topping turns a lovely golden brown.

19. Step 19

    The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon you’ll have a comforting dish that’s perfect for sharing with family and friends.
