- 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1/2 c. dry white wine

- 3 c. shredded leftover turkey or rotisserie chicken

Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly butter a shallow broiler-proof 2-quart casserole dish. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes; transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium, and add the remaining tablespoon oil along with the onion, celery, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the wine and then the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Add the cream cheese, lemon zest and juice, and 3/4 cup Parmesan and stir until the cream cheese melts. Add the sauce to the pasta along with the turkey and toss to coat, then fold in the mushrooms, peas, and parsley.
