Turkey Tetrazzini

The Best Use of Turkey Leftovers Ever!



Ingredients
:

3-6 cups of Turkey (large chunks are fine, as are using both dark and white meat parts, and don't worry about removing the bones, that can be done later)

1/2 c. Dry White Wine

1 Onion, Chopped

1 tsp Salt

1/4 tsp. Thyme (dried)

1/4 tsp. Pepper

2 T parsley (dried, or fresh minced)

Directions:

Mix these with 1 c. water in your slow cooker.  Cover and cook on low for 4 hours (if you are using uncooked turkey or chicken parts, then extend this to 8-10 hours).

When done, remove the turkey and strain the broth to save and reuse for the sauce.  

Debone and shred or cut turkey into bite sized slivers.

Add 1/3 c. butter to empty slow cooker and turn heat to high and melt the butter.

Stir in:

1/3 c. flour

gradually add reserved broth,

Add in 1/2 c. light cream (or half n half or lightly diluted heavy cream)

Cook on high for 30 minutes until bubbly then add back the shredded turkey and 8 oz. of broken and cooked spaghetti (follow package directions).  

Optional:  add a 4oz. can of mushrooms, drained, along with the spaghetti.

Cover and Cook on High for 15 minutes.

Sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese and serve.  

Serves 8.

TIP: Can do turkey (or chicken) and broth a day ahead.  Allow 1 hr. of prep time to finish when you do that.
