      Title: Turkey Tetrazzini
 Categories: Poultry, Pasta, Wine, Dairy, Chilies
      Yield: 3 Servings

  3 1/2 tb Unsalted butter; in sm
           - pieces+extra for greasing
           - the pan
      3 tb Flour
  1 1/2 c  Rich turkey stock or canned
           - chicken broth
    1/2 lb Spaghetti
      1    Red bell pepper; julienned
           Salt and black pepper
    1/4 c  Dry sherry
    1/2 c  Heavy cream
           Few drops hot pepper sauce
      1 lb Roast turkey meat; chopped
    1/4 c  Bread crumbs
    1/4 c  Grated Parmesan cheese

  Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta
  and preheat the broiler. Butter an 8x8-inch baking dish.

  Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over low heat in a heavy
  saucepan. Stir in the flour. Continue stirring until the
  mixture turns a light golden color, about 5 minutes (it
  should sizzle a bit). Gradually whisk in 1 1/4 cups stock
  until incorporated. Bring to a simmer, then cook for 5
  minutes, whisking occasionally.

  Meanwhile, begin cooking the pasta to al dente. In a small
  saucepan, melt the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter. Add
  the chopped pepper and saute until tender, about 4-5
  minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

  Add sherry to the sauce and simmer briefly to cook off the
  raw alcohol flavor. Stir in the cream and season to taste
  with salt, pepper and Tabasco. Add the turkey meat and
  cooked peppers to the sauce and keep over very low heat to
  warm the turkey while you drain the pasta. At this point,
  you can thin the sauce with another 1/4 cup or so stock,
  if needed.

  Place the pasta in the prepared baking dish. Pour the
  sauce over and sprinkle with bread crumbs and Parmesan.
  Place under the broiler until browned, about 5 minutes.

  Serves 3-4.

  Note: You can substitute a cup of frozen peas for the red
  bell peppers. Rinse the peas and add them to the sauce
  when you add the sherry; they'll defrost in the sauce.
