Turkey Tetrazzini

Step 1: Ingredients
  • Turkey Breast
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Oregano
  • Sage
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • Swiss Cheese
  • 2 cups of grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 cups of Milk
  • 2 cups of Chicken Stock
  • All Purpose Flour
  • Egg Noodles

Step 2: Boil Noodles and Prep
Set your egg noodles on to boil and grate about 2 cups of Parmesan Cheese in to a bowl.

Step 3: Add Liquids
Mix in 2 cups of chicken stock and 2 cups of milk with the Parmesan.

Step 4: Cut the Turkey
Cut the turkey in to chunks, like so.

Step 5: Spice the Meat
Coat the meat with garlic powder.
Coat the garlic powder with onion powder.
Do a half coating of oregano.
Put just enough sage in the palm of your hand to make about a 10 sided dice sized mound, then sprinkle that on top.

Mix it all together with your hands so everything has a nice, even coating.

Step 6: Pan fry it
Put about a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan and turn the heat on high. Once the olive oil starts to smoke a little, toss the turkey in the pan and quickly stir it around. You should notice that some of the spice sticks to the pan, this is a good thing. Keep stirring and eventually, your turkey will start to take on a brown, caramel color like so:
This is also going to be about the same time that the noodles are done, so take them up and drain them, then put them back in the pot and set it to the side for later.

Step 7: Add the Liquid Mix
Pour in the Parmesan, milk and stock mix in to the pan and turn the heat down to medium. Stir it around, making sure to get all of the wonderful crunchies off the bottom of the pan.

Step 8: Add a bit of flour
Now, you don't want to actually let the mix come to a boil but it's not the end of the world if it does. Once yous tart to notice some bubbling, sprinkle two or three handfuls of flour over the top of it and mix it in. Don't worry about doughballs forming, they're delicious.

Step 9: Add it to the noodles
Mix the entire contents of the pan with the noodles in an oven safe pot.

Step 10: Toppings
Add a layer of panko breadcrumbs, then add a layer of Swiss Cheese:
Then add another layer of panko breadcrumbs and put it in the oven on 350 for about an hour:
aaand done!

So, here we are, folks. Turkey Tetrazinni:

    1. Yeah! It needed a little salt and I forgot to make some peas to go with it but the dish itself was seriously tasty and very filling.
