Dad'S Day Turkey Tetrazzini
- 1/2 pound organic linguini
- 1/2 pound organic Crimini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
- 4 tablespoons organic unsalted butter, divided use
- 4 tablespoons AP unbleached flour
- 2 cups homemade chicken stock
- 3 cups cooked turkey breast, chopped or shredded into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup organic cultured sour cream (I used "Wallaby")
- 2 tablespoons Madiera
- Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan, divided use
- 4 ounces sliced, fresh organic mozzarella (I used Whole Foods "ovoline")
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Sweet Hungarian paprika
- Bring pasta water to boil in large pot. Heat stock in microwave 90 seconds. In large skillet over medium heat, melt 3 T. of butter and saute mushrooms until slightly crispy, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the flour, cook, stirring for 2 minutes, and add the hot stock. Stir stock until sauce becomes thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Turn heat down to simmer.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add the turkey to simmering sauce. Once the pasta water is boiling, add salt, break the linguini in half and cook until al dente, 5 minutes. Drain pasta and add to simmering sauce. Stir and cook 2 minutes. Turn off heat.
- Stir in the sour cream and Madiera. Correct seasoning. Add 1/2 cup parmesan, mix well and turn pasta into a 9 X 11 glass or ceramic casserole dish. Place mozzarella slices on top of pasta. Mix remaining parmesan with panko and sprinkle evenly over casserole. Dot with small bits of remaining 1 T. of butter. Dust with a sprinkling of paprika for my Hungarian Dad. Bake 25 minutes.
