Provided by Pierre Franey

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 ounces fine egg noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups fresh turkey broth or canned chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon red hot pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 cup crushed canned tomatoes
3 cups cooked, skinless, boneless turkey cut into bite-size cubes
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Do not overcook. Drain and return to the pot. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss well.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. Blend well. Add the broth, stirring rapidly with the whisk. When the sauce is thickened and smooth, simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cream, pepper flakes, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Blend well with the whisk and simmer briefly. Set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan. Add the shallots and cook briefly, stirring. Add the tomatoes, stir and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the turkey meat and 1 cup of the cream sauce. Stir and blend gently. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Set aside.
  • To the remaining cream sauce add the beaten egg. Bring to a boil, stirring rapidly with the whisk for 30 seconds. Do not overcook. Remove from the heat.
  • Add the noodles to a baking pan measuring 11 by 8 by 2 inches. Smooth them over and spoon the turkey mixture over the noodles. Cover with the cream and egg mixture. Smooth over and sprinkle with the cheese.
  • Preheat the broiler to high and place the dish under the broiler and cook until nicely browned and bubbling on top. Serve immediately.

This recipe is very versatile. You can add or omit ingredients to suit your taste. For example, you could add cheese to the sauce or top the dish with chopped nuts.

I used a whole wheat breadcrumb topping instead of a white breadcrumb topping. It gave the dish a nutty flavor and a healthier twist.

I added some chopped vegetables to the sauce, such as carrots, celery, and onions. It made the dish even more flavorful and nutritious.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted tofu for the turkey. It turned out just as delicious!
