Angel Hair Turkey Casserole Recipes

LEFTOVER TURKEY PASTA RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit/ 200 degrees Celsius. Lightly grease a casserole dish of about 10x8 inches/ 25x20 cm.
• Cook noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water and cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Let drain well.
• Cook onion: In the meantime, halve and slice the onion. Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a non-stick saucepan. Cook the onion slices for 4-5 minutes or until golden. Add the finely chopped garlic and stir for another minute. Remove to a bowl or small plate.
• Make white sauce: Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the same saucepan. Sprinkle the flour on top and stir it for one minute. Slowly start adding the milk while whisking all the time to avoid the formation of clumps. If you do happen to have too many clumps anyway, you can save the sauce by blending it shortly with a handheld blender. Let the sauce bubble gently for about 2 minutes while stirring very often. Then, take it off the heat and stir in ¾ of the grated cheese, mustard, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
• Separate the eggs. Add the egg yolks to the sauce and stir very well to incorporate. In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the sauce.
• Assemble the dish: Place the cooked pasta and the chopped turkey meat into the prepared casserole dish and mix them well. Pour the sauce over the noodles in the casserole dish and mix everything together.
• Bake: Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and bake the noodle turkey casserole for about 20 minutes until heated through and golden.
• Rest for about 5 minutes and serve as suggested above.

Serve with a little your favorite sauce (this is not spaghetti so you only want to use the sauce as a compliment not a dressing that covers all the flavor) I used Marinara sauce the first time and on the leftovers I used a nice Pesto sauce they were both great I am gonna try a creamy vodka sauce next time..experiment and enjoy. (this reheats well I have not frozen any so I am not sure about freezing it)
