\"tetrazinni\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All this galavanting around Harding County, South Dakota doesn’t leave much time to test new recipes. So this week’s offering is one I first tasted in the early 1980s when we lived in Harding County. Here’s what I wrote about the recipe when it first appeared on this blog in February of 2011.<\/em><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s recipe is a family favorite at the Philo house. It comes from old South Dakota friends. Connie, who was Allen\u2019s babysitter, served it often when our families had supper together. About six months after our move to Iowa, I developed a serious craving for tetrazzini. Finally, I called Connie, and she gave me the recipe over the phone. We had it for supper the next night, and it\u2019s been a staple on our menu ever since.<\/p>\n

Connie\u2019s recipe was peppered with amounts like \u201chalf a chunk of cheese,\u201d \u201csome broth,\u201d and \u201ca handful of spaghetti noodles,\u201d and my version hasn\u2019t progressed much further. That means you can take the recipe and adapt it for your use, too.<\/p>\n

A few FYIs are in order, too. First, chicken and turkey can be used interchangeably in this recipe, as can chicken and turkey broth. Second, this is a wonderful way to use turkey leftovers. Third, fix double or triple batches when cooking because it freezes well. Fourth, my recipe has no salt and pepper. People add those flavorings at the table, along with Parmesan cheese. Fifth, directions for a dairy-free version are at the bottom of this page.<\/p>\n

Turkey (or Chicken) Tetrazzini<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 \u2013 3 cups cooked, deboned, cubed chicken or turkey
\n1 cup shredded cheddar cheese*
\n1 1\/2 cups chicken or turkey broth
\n3 tablespoons butter*
\n1\/4 cup flour
\n1\/2 cup onion, chopped
\n1\/4 cup green or sweet red pepper, chopped
\n12 ounces spaghetti
\n6 slices of bread, toasted and cubed
\n1\/4 cup melted butter*<\/p>\n

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put cubed turkey and cheese in a greased 9 x 13 pan. Cook spaghetti according to package directions and drain. Rinse with cold water and place in pan with turkey and cheese. Stir well.<\/p>\n

While spaghetti is cooking, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a sauce pan. Add onions and pepper. Saute until onions are transparent. Add flour and mix well. Slowly add broth, whisking and stirring constantly until it boils. Let it boil gently for one minute. Pour sauce over noodle\/meat\/cheese mixture and stir well.<\/p>\n

Toast the bread and cut into cubes. Drizzle with 1\/4 cup melted butter and stir well. Sprinkle croutons over the noodle mixture. Bake for 1\/2 hour. Serve with a green salad and fresh fruit. Yum!<\/p>\n

*For a dairy-free version, replace the butter with Earth Balance buttery vegan sticks<\/a> and omit the cheese.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
