Comfort food at its best. This little dish comes from a diet comfort food magazine I bought a long time ago. Apparently, one serving of this turkey tetrazzini is only worth 400 calories. That’s not so bad for a whole single serving. And, it’s quite filling and delicious.
Recipe for 6 servings:
1/2 pound uncooked spaghetti
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp butter
3 tbsp cornstarch
1 can reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 can fat-free evaporated milk
2 1/2 cups cubed cooked turkey breast
1 can mushroom stems and pieces, strained (I used about 4oz of fresh mushrooms instead of canned)
Salt, Pepper
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp paprika
Cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain. Preheat oven to 350F. In large pot, saute onion and garlic in butter until tender. In small bowl, mix cornstarch and chicken broth until smooth then stir into the pot with onions. Bring to boil and stir 2 minutes until thick. Reduce heat to low and add the milk, cook 2-3 minutes. Stir in cooked spaghetti, turkey, mushrooms, salt and pepper.
Transfer to greased square baking dish, cover and bake 20 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle Parmesan cheese and paprika and bake another 5 to 10 minutes more.
