New Year’s Day Turkey Tetrazzini

Here's a tasty, nutritious way to use up holiday turkey leftovers:

1 1/2 tbsp. margarine
1 C. sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 C. minced onion
1/3 C. all-purpose flour
1 C. 2% milk
1 10 1/2-ounce can low-sodium chicken broth

Vegetable cooking spray

1/4 C. grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
3/4 tsp. pepper
3 tbsp. dry sherry
1 2 ounce jar diced pimentos, drained

4 C. cooked linguini noodles
2 C. chopped cooked turkey

Melt margarine in a large saucepan. Add mushrooms and onion; sautÈ over medium heat for three minutes. Stir in flour; cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk and broth; cook six minutes or until thickened and bubbly, stirring constantly with a whisk to eliminate lumps. Remove from heat; stir in cheese, salt, garlic powder, pepper, sherry and pimentos.

Stir linguini and turkey into mushroom mixture. Pour into a 2-quart casserole dish coated with cooking spray. Cover casserole with lid or foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes, until thoroughly heated. Serves six.
