Turkey Tetrazini

Ingredients
8 ounces spaghetti or linguine
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup sliced green onions
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup half-and-half
2 cups chopped cooked turkey
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley

Directions
1. Cook spaghetti or linguine according to package directions; drain.
2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan cook mushrooms and green onions in hot butter till tender. Stir in flour, pepper, and nutmeg. Add chicken brother and half-and-half all at once. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Stir in turkey and half of the Parmesan cheese. Add cooked spaghetti or linguine; toss to coat.
3. Transfer chicken mixture to a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and almonds.
4. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 1`5 to 20 minutes or till heated through. Sprinkle with parsley.

Notes
This can, of course, be made with chicken instead but it is one of my favorite ways to use up leftover turkey, so I almost always use turkey.
