Creamy Turkey Fettuccine


Creamy Turkey Fettuccine
(6-servings)


Ingredients:

12 oz. Fettuccine
3 tbsp. Yellow Onion, finely chopped
3 tbsp. Unsalted Butter
2 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. All Purpose Flour
3 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
2 cups Fresh Broccoli Florets
2 cups Leftover Turkey, cubed or chopped
1 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese, divided
½ tsp. Garlic Salt
¼ tsp. Black Pepper
¼ tsp. Dried Oregano
¼ tsp. Ground Nutmeg

Directions:

Cook the fettuccine according to package directions.  In a large sauté pan over medium heat melt the butter.  Add the onion and sauté until tender then add the flour blending it into the onion mixture.  Cook the flour in for 1 to 2 minutes before adding the cream.  Stir constantly until it comes to a boil.  Add the broccoli, reduce heat to simmer and cook uncovered for 7 to 10 minutes.  Next add the turkey, half of the cheese and all of the seasonings.  Drain the fettuccine and place on a serving platter.  Top the fettuccine with the sauce and remaining cheese and serve.

Note:               You could use rotisserie chicken for this dish if you don’t have
                        leftover turkey.

Note:               You can substitute frozen or fresh peas for the broccoli if you
                        wish.
