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.
Cook the mushrooms in 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat, stirring, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
8 ounces mushrooms
For butter cream sauce:
In a large, heavy saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of butter. Stir in the flour, and cook the mixture over low heat, whisking constantly for one minute. Remove from the heat.
1/2 cup gluten free all-purpose flour
Slowly whisk in the broth until smooth.
2 cups gluten free chicken broth
Then whisk in the milk and heat on a medium flame, whisking constantly, simmering for one minute. Then stir in the sherry and simmer for one more minute.
2 1/2 cups of milk, 2 tablespoons of sherry
Remove from the heat. Flavor with lemon juice, nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked spaghetti, turkey, and mushrooms to the sauce and toss.
12 ounces gluten free spaghetti, 3 drops of lemon juice, 3 pinches of nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste, 3 cups leftover turkey
Transfer the entire mixture to the buttered casserole.
Crumb topping
In a small bowl combine parmesan and bread crumbs. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the tetrazzini, and dot the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, cut into small pieces.
1/3 cup parmesan, 1/3 cup gluten free panko breadcrumbs
Bake on the middle rack of the oven until the sauce is bubbly and the top is golden, about 40 minutes.
Notes
What can I use instead of sherry? If you don’t have sherry, white wine can work as a substitute. How can I store leftovers? Store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or freeze if you want to keep it longer. Freeze the leftovers for up to 2-3 months. Just be sure to label the container with the date!
