Who's doing what with that leftover turkey or ham (or in Imago's case raw turnips or whatver the hell he eats)?

I'm making some Turkey Tetrazzini tonight.

Here's the recipe...

Turkey Tetrazzini
12 oz egg noodles, spaghetti, linguini or other pasta
12 ounces mushrooms, sliced (about 4-5 cups)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups of milk
1/4 cup cream
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup dry sherry, vermouth, or dry white wine
3 cups coarsely chopped cooked turkey
1 cup cooked peas
2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/3 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/3 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
Salt and Pepper
1 Cook the pasta according to the package directions, al dente; drain well and set aside. After you've started with the pasta, proceed to the next steps.

2 Preheat oven to 375°F.

3 Cook the mushrooms in 3 Tbsp of the butter over moderate heat, stirring, until all of the liquid they give off has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

4 In a large, heavy saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of butter. Stir in the flour, and cook the mixture over low heat, stirring, for 3 minutes.

5 Gradually stir in the milk, cream, broth, and the wine or sherry. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes.

6 In a large bowl combine well the pasta, the sauce, the mushrooms, the turkey, the peas, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in 1/3 cup of the Parmesan and the 1/2 cup of Swiss cheese, and transfer the mixture to a buttered shallow 3-quart casserole.

7 In a small bowl combine well the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan, the bread crumbs, and salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle the mixture evenly over the Tetrazzini, and dot the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, cut into bits.

8 Bake the Tetrazzini in the middle rack of the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it is bubbling and the top is golden.

Serves 4 to 6.

sounds good sans the mushrooms

I was actually debating about the peas, but Lucy likes them so...

I'm still trying to find this recipe for making chocolate cake with leftover mashpotatoes. That should prove interesting.

I am with you...I hate the shroom

Plus, I got my laptop in the kitchen and it's fully charged, so I'll keep y'all updated on the progress.

On an unrelated note, does anyone know the best way to put out small, contained kitchen fires?

Is it a grease fire? Throw water on it!

Okay, we're back on track!

(I sure hope the recipe doesn't call for eyebrows. )

2the9s said:

I hope you did not walk away from the fire, to ask us what to do?

Oh shit. I've just been assuming I have vermouth...better check.

I've got some nice Christmas ones, I'll try to upload tonight.

For those of you following along from the safety of your own homes, I will be substituting Pecorino Romano cheese for the Parmesan recommended above. Please update your records.

Paremesan is for school cafeterias and hobos!
