How to Make The Ultimate Turkey Tetrazzini

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
  2. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Stir in 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced; 1 teaspoon creole seasoning; and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are softened and have released their liquid, about 6 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup all-purpose flour over the mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
  5. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup dry white wine and 1 cup chicken broth until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and 1 cup cream of mushroom soup. Bring to a simmer.
  7. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to coat the back of a spoon (5-10 minutes).
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Meanwhile, cook 1 pound egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  10. Butter a 9x13 inch casserole dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
  11. Add the cooked noodles, 2 cups cooked turkey, chopped; 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce. Stir until well combined.
  12. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small bowl. Toss with 1 cup bread crumbs.
  13. Pour the turkey mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Top with the bread crumb mixture.
  14. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
  15. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
