Taste of Home Tuesday: Mushroom Turkey Tetrazzini

Ingredients
12 ounces uncooked spaghetti, broken into 2-inch pieces
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sherry or reduced-sodium chicken broth
3/4 teaspoon salt-free lemon-pepper seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
4 cups cubed cooked turkey breast
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Directions
Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain, reserving 2-1/2 cups cooking liquid. Stir bouillon into cooking liquid and set aside. Place spaghetti in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray; set aside.
In a large nonstick skillet, saute mushrooms in butter until tender. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually stir in sherry and reserved cooking liquid. Add the lemon-pepper, salt and nutmeg. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Reduce heat to low; stir in milk and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese until blended. Add turkey; cook and stir until heated through. Pour turkey mixture over spaghetti and toss to combine. Sprinkle with paprika and remaining Parmesan cheese.
Cover and bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly. Yield: 8 servings.

Justin and I bought a turkey after the holidays to cook and then have leftovers.  We found this recipe to try with our leftover turkey.  It was very good.  Every little bit we would taste a hint of the nutmeg which was different for us.  We halved the recipe for just the two of us.
