Method of Turkey Tetrazzini
Step 1
Compile every component. Set the oven’s temperature to 375°F, or 190°C. Grease a baking dish that holds two quarts.
Step 2
Heavily salted water in a large saucepan should be brought to a boil. Cook the noodles for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are al dente. After draining, put the pasta in a baking dish and cover to keep warm.
Step 3
Melt butter in a big, heavy skillet over medium-high heat while the pasta cooks. Cook and stir the celery, onion, and mushrooms for 6 to 8 minutes, or until they are soft.
Step 4
Add the crushed red pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic to the skillet and simmer for an additional minute or two, or until fragrant.
Step 5
If using, add the wine and swirl to scrape up any browned pieces from the bottom of the skillet. Cook for one minute, or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Step 6
Stir in turkey, sour cream, condensed soup, and chicken broth. Cook, stirring, for one minute or until the sauce bubbles and is thoroughly cooked.
Step 7
Transfer the turkey mixture onto the spaghetti and garnish with almonds and Parmesan cheese.
Step 8
Bake for about 25 minutes, or until hot and bubbling, in a preheated oven. Ten minutes should pass before serving.
