Ingredients

• 12 ounces spaghetti or linguine
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups shredded cooked turkey
• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 cup bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the spaghetti or linguine in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, then remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps remain. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, and cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened.

Step 5

Stir the heavy cream into the saucepan and season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix well and remove from heat.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey, cooked chicken, sautéed mushroom mixture, and cooked pasta. Pour the creamy sauce over the top and toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and bread crumbs evenly over the top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the Turkey Chicken Tetrazzini cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
