Low FODMAP Turkey (or Chicken) Tetrazzini

My dad loves turkey dinner. He also loves making turkey dinner and has it down to an exact science, like most things he does. He loves turkey so much, we’ve always had it for both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. Tired of all things turkey after Thanksgiving, many people choose something different for Christmas, like ham or prime rib. Not my dad. We do the stuffed-turkey-with-mashed-potatoes-and-gravy-and-green-bean-casserole shebang all over again. In fact, when we sat down to Christmas dinner this year my dad declared, “The only bad thing about this meal is that we don’t get to have again it for almost a whole year!”

What to do with turkey leftovers


I’m not complaining. We all love turkey dinner too. But with turkey dinner comes turkey leftovers. Lots of turkey leftovers. Thankfully, I came up with this warm and creamy casserole to help use up all of those leftovers. I absolutely love this casserole and will probably make it year round with leftover chicken too. Despite being made completely from scratch, I find that it is quite easy to make.

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Prepare spaghetti according to package directions. Rinse in cold water and drain.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add scallions and red pepper and saute about 4 to 5 minutes, or until red pepper is softened.
  • Add stock and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, combine the milk and flour. Slowly pour the milk mixture into to the stock while constantly stirring. Continue to stir until mixture is thickened and bubbly.
  • Stir in the salt, pepper and thyme. Fold in the turkey or chicken and cooked spaghetti. Transfer to a 2.5 quart casserole dish. Bake about 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
  • Sprinkle with cheese and bake 5 minutes more, or until the cheese is melted. Serve.

Notes

*To make low-FODMAP turkey stock, simply replace the chicken bones with turkey bones in my Low-FODMAP Chicken Stock recipe. Add water as needed to keep bones submerged.
*Fody Chicken Soup Base may be used instead, just use 1 1/2 cups water instead of broth and add 1 teaspoon chicken soup base. Salt in the recipe may need to be reduced to adjust for the salt in the chicken soup base.
