Healthy Turkey Tetrazzini

Gobbling turkey leftovers on Black Friday after a 3am shopping spree at the mall? Leave the sandwich bread in the cupboard and try using the remains of yesterday’s feast in soups and stratas, pastas and pestos.

Recipe: Healthy Turkey Tetrazzini

Ingredients

Cooking spray
1 pound uncooked linguine
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup flour
3 cups lowfat chicken broth
2 cups lowfat milk
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4 cups diced cooked turkey

Instructions


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.

In a large pot of lightly salted, boiling water, cook the linguine until al dente. Drain and transfer to the casserole dish.

Combine olive oil and butter in a medium saucepan and turn heat to medium. Cook for 20 seconds. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Whisk in the broth and milk. Cook, stirring, until the sauce boils. Continue to cook until it thickens slightly. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 1/4 cups of the Parmesan cheese.

Toss the cooked linguine with the sauce and the diced turkey. Sprinkle the top of the casserole with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Bake the casserole, uncovered, for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.

Cranberry Sauce Recipe

For some people, a Cranberry Sauce Recipe means opening up a can of a jelly-like substance. A good cranberry sauce recipe should be more than that, though. There are multiple ways you could approach a cranberry sauce recipe and pull even more flavor out of this Thanksgiving side dish.
The basics of a cranberry sauce recipe

A cranberry sauce recipe should fulfill a few basic criteria. Cranberries have a bright, acidic flavor that is perfect for pairing with turkey, stuffing or even vanilla ice cream. Cranberry sauce should be flavorful but not too acidic and not too sweet. It’s a tall order, but relatively easy to fill.
Blended cranberry relish recipe

A good blended cranberry sauce recipe is quick, easy, and should be simple enough you can ask the kids to take care of it. This cranberry sauce recipe creates a thick, relish-like cranberry sauce. Combine all these ingredients in a food processor or blender:

* 1 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries
* One large orange, peeled and separated
* 1 cup sugar or 3/4 cup agave nectar
* 1/4 cup orange juice, ginger ale or 2 ounces good-quality whiskey

Cooked cranberry sauce recipe

* 1 12-ounce bag frozen cranberries
* 1 cup orange juice
