Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over moderate heat. Add the garlic, parsley, mushrooms, bay leaf, and salt and pepper and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Place the butter in a separate saucepan and melt over moderate heat. Add the flour and blend well, cooking for about 2 minutes to form a roux. Add the chicken or turkey broth and stir constantly until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and add the half and half and wine and stir well. Place the drained cooked noodles in a buttered casserole dish and top with the mushroom mixture. Arrange the turkey on top of the mushrooms, and pour the cream sauce over all. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and bake in a preheated 350F (180C) oven for 15 minutes. Serves 4.
