Great noodle dish that you can make with leftover turkey or even chicken. Has a touch of nutmeg for that special flavor. Recipe courtesy of Karen.

I've made this four times and it is delicious. It is a well thought out recipe. This time I used leftover turkey that I had brined and then smoked in the electric smoker. If I ever had any doubt that brining retains moisture in the poultry, I don't now. Although it is more liquidy, it's still wonderful. Thanks for this recipe!Reply

Tweeked the recipe a little. Used an entire can of evaporated milk , extra parmasean cheese, and added chopped onion with the mushrooms and garlice clove sauteed together and peas for color, Salt and pepper as well. I used dry sherry in place of the wine. came out excellent. Will make it again next week to use up all my turkey. Delicious !!Reply

Excellent recipe! I made only a few minor changes and it was delicious. Used canned mushrooms as hubby hates mushrooms and canned don't impart as much mushroom flavor. Diced up some onion, red bell pepper, and celery and sauteed in some of the butter. Melted the rest of the butter in the pan, sprinkled the flour in and proceeded with the sauce. I used dry sherry for the wine. So good!Reply
