Moment of truth...We ate at 4pm pst and everything was great even thought the wife forgot to set the bird on a rack in the roaster. I was nervous about the stuffing (dam TV) so she put it in the micro and nuked it. Thee minutes ago she stepped into the 'puter room with the bowl of dressing in her hand fresh out of the micro. Not one person asked for dressing that's how good the meal was. (there were 10 adults)

Yehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Turkey's Nose Under The Tentrazzini

• 4 cups cooked turkey, diced 
• 4 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• salt to taste
• 2 cups chicken broth
• Hot sauce to taste, I use Tabasco sauce
• 1/2 pound mushrooms -- sliced
• 1 egg yolk lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon dry sherry
• 3 tablespoons cream
• 1 (8 oz) pkg. pasta, preferably spaghetti
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon butter

1) In a skillet heat 3 tablespoons of butter; add mushrooms and sauté briefly.
2) Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan; add flour and stir until smooth.
3) Whisk in broth and cook until thickened and smooth. Add salt and Tabasco to taste. Whisk a little of the hot sauce into the beaten egg yolk, then pour the egg yolk mixture into the rest of the sauce.
4) Add sherry, cream, turkey, and mushrooms. Cook, stirring, just until heated through.
5) Cook pasta according to package directions.
6) In a buttered casserole, place alternate layers of spaghetti and sauce.
Sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
Optional, but a great touch, brown quickly under a preheated broiler and serve.
