Gluten Free Turkey Tetrazzini

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Gluten free turkey tetrazzini is a delicious combination of spaghetti and turkey in butter cream sauce; a great way to use up turkey leftovers. It’s so good.

Thanksgiving wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without the turkey. And one thing’s for sure, no matter how many family members and friends crowd around the table or how much we eat, I’ve never been to a Thanksgiving feast where there weren’t lots of leftovers for the next day (or even the whole week!).

And this year is no different. But you can only eat so many turkey sandwiches. Gluten free turkey tetrazzini is a great way to use up turkey leftovers.

Tetrazzini is an American dish named after Italian opera star, Luisa Tetrazzini. The combination of spaghetti and delicious butter cream sauce is certain to receive a standing ovation.

Ready to make gluten free turkey tetrazzini? Here we go.

Instructions

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post. 

Before you begin preheat your oven to 400°F and butter a three-quart casserole dish.

Start by cooking your mushrooms in a large skillet to give the mushrooms plenty of room so that they can brown. Add butter to the skillet and cook your mushrooms, tossing them with a wooden spoon until they’re brown (about 5 minutes). Then set them aside.

Now in a large, heavy saucepan, melt a quarter of a cup of butter. Stir in the flour, and cook the mixture over low heat, whisking constantly for one minute. Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in broth until smooth. Then whisk in some milk and heat on a medium flame, whisking constantly, simmering for one minute. Then stir in a little sherry and simmer for one more minute.

Turn off the flame and season with lemon juice, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Mmm. Doesn’t that sound yummy?

Finally, add cooked spaghetti, turkey, and mushrooms to the sauce and toss.

Now transfer the entire mixture to the buttered casserole dish.

Now for the delicious bread crumb topping.  Combine parmesan and bread crumbs in a small bowl and sprinkle the mixture evenly over the tetrazzini and dot the top with a tablespoon of butter, cut into small pieces.

Pop it in the oven until the sauce is bubbly and the top is golden.

And, voila! It’s ready to serve, warm from the oven. Make this with your leftover turkey (it works well with chicken too!). You’re going to love it.

    That looks delicious! I have been thinking about going wheat free and recipes like this make me think it could be possible. Commenting from the UBC. I would love to follow your blog, but I don’t see an option. I liked you on Facebook though.

      Hello Katie,

      Years ago when I first went gluten free, the food substitutes were not too tasty, but the food industry has gotten on board now and there are a lot of better choices. I recommend many of our choices in my recipes that we’ve taste tested.

      My subscriber box is over there on the top of the sidebar where it says, “Join the Homestead”. (there is one under this post just above these comments, as well). Join today and you’ll receive my meal plans as a gift.

      Looking forward to seeing you on Facebook! Thanks.

      Blessings,

      Barbara
