Tetrazzini Sauce

1. In a large skillet, melt the butter.
2. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until onion is softened.
3. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and cook 1 minute.
4. Whisk in flour until completely absorbed by the butter.

Turkey Tetrazzini

1. Cook spaghetti just to al dente in a large pot of boiling salted water.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F if baking immediately.
3. Place spaghetti, cooked turkey, and peas in a lightly greased 9x13” baking dish. Pour the sauce over top and spread with a spatula over pasta so that it soaks down into the spaghetti.
4. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 20 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
