Stovetop Turkey DivanIf you’ve ever been to at least one potluck fund-raiser, you’ve
likely eaten some version of chicken or turkey divan. This 1930s
favorite is thought to have been the creation of a popular New York
City restaurant, Divan Parisien. Although no longer in business, the
restaurant is immortalized by this American classic. Here’s a
simplified version of the dish.
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 35 minutes
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 red pepper, cored, seeded, and diced
1 small onion, chopped
1 bunch broccoli, broken into small florets, stems discarded
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup half-and-half
3 cups medium egg noodles, uncooked
3 cups (1 pound) cooked turkey, cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt and pepper
1. In a large nonstick skillet or chicken fryer, melt the butter over
medium heat. Add the red pepper, onion, and broccoli. Cook, stirring
often, until the pepper and onion are soft, about 6 to 8 minutes.
2. Stir in the chicken broth, half-and-half, noodles, and turkey.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook, covered, 20 to 25
minutes, or until the noodles test done, stirring occasionally. Taste
and adjust for salt and pepper.

Easy Turkey TetrazziniA fan created turkey Tetrazzini in the early twenieth century for
Italian soprano Luisa Tetrazzini, who toured the United States from
1910 to 1913. Combining pasta from Tetrazzini’s native Italy with the
American turkey, this dish has become a favorite way for generations
of Americans to use leftover turkey. This simplified recipe calls for
prepared Alfredo pasta sauce instead of homemade cream sauce. You can
find the prepared alfredo sauce in the refrigerated section or pasta
aisle of most supermarkets. Cook the elbow macaroni al dente or
Italian style, making sure it is not soft and mushy but has slight
chew or bite to it when done cooking in boiling water.
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 20 to 25 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
2 tablespoons butter
1 scallion, sliced thin
1/2 pound white mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 container (10 ounces) Alfredo sauce
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup diced canned pimientos
3 cups (1 pound) cooked turkey, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 pound elbow pasta, cooked al dente
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the
scallion slices and cook about 1 minute, or until soft. Add the
mushrooms and cook about 3 minutes, or until soft. Add the Alfredo
sauce, milk, and sherry. Stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer.
Remove from heat and stir in 1/3 cup of the Parmesan cheese, the
pimientos, and turkey.
3. Lightly butter a 3-quart baking dish. Add the pasta and the turkey
mixture. Mix well. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan
cheese.
4. Bake, uncovered, until bubbling and brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
