Ingredients

1 1/2 cups chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pound white button mushrooms, ends trimmed, sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon freshly chopped thyme leaves
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 cups chicken stock or low-sodium canned chicken broth
1 3/4 cups heavy cream
12 ounces wide egg noodles
1 pound cubed or bite-size shredded roast turkey
1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 (5 1/2-ounce) bag potato chips, crushed

Directions

Saute the onions and bell peppers in 6 tablespoons butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over high heat until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Add the mushrooms, Essence, and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft and have released their liquid, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle with the flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the wine and chicken stock and cook, stirring, until smooth and thick, about 2 minutes. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and very flavorful, 15 to 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and set aside.

Butter a 9 by 13-inch casserole or baking dish with the remaining tablespoon of butter and set aside.

When the sauce has thickened, add the noodles, turkey, parsley, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan to the skillet and stir until thoroughly combined. Transfer to the prepared casserole and top with the potato chips. Bake uncovered until bubbly and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

Good with some changes...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I added peas/carrots, Marsala, cajun spices, sauteed celery and no peppers. I used leftover gravy instead of whipping cream... to cut down on calories. I crumbled up Ritz crackers for topping and it was good. I also used canned mushrooms.Read more

Turkey Leftovers-Great Recipe!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My family really enjoyed this meal. Served with broccoli, might just add it right in the next time I make this. Only sub I... made was for the potato chips, I used panko instead and let it sit under the broiler for a few minutes at the end of the cooking time to crisp up the top. Oh, and I didn't add the Emeril Essence; the last time I made the Essence I never used it again...instead I used a sprinkle of cayenne and paprika. Read more

Was good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Made day before.....definitely good but not as amazing as some of the other recipes i've tried from Emeril. Could just be... that we are not a "tetrazzini" family. Read more

Best Tetrazinni Tasted
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family loved this recipe. Although I've never made tetrazinni before, I've tried it at several restaurants. This was... better than any of theirs. Once again, Emeril's recipe shines. He used ingredients that I had in my cabinets and growing in my small garden. I had grilled a turkey last week, and then froze the remainder. After thawing the grilled turkey, I used it in this recipe to add even more flavor. Also, like many other reviewers, I used panko breadcrumbs because I didn't have potato chips. I also added a little more parmesan than the recipe called for, and a little less salt. It was fabulous. Emeril, you've never done me wrong. Thanks for yet another great recipe!Read more

Perfect Comfort Food
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I hadn't even heard of tetrazzini, but I was searching recipes I could make in my new dutch oven and came up with this. I... used left over chicken breast vs turkey, a mix of button and crimini mushrooms, omitted the red pepper (just don't care for it cooked) and used panko and parm cheese instead of chips. It was wonderful! My husband loved it and has already asked me when we're having it again.Read more
