How to Make Chicken Or Turkey Tetrazzini

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and toss with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and shallots; sauté for 5-7 minutes, until mushrooms have released their liquid and softened.
  4. Stir in flour, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Gradually whisk in heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce has thickened slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Add shredded chicken or turkey and stir to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add more chicken broth, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese.
  8. In a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish or lasagna pan, spread the cooked spaghetti.
  9. Pour the chicken mixture evenly over the spaghetti.
  10. Cover the casserole dish and bake for 40 minutes.
  11. Remove the cover, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese over the top, and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
