Here's something good for all that leftover turkey:

 8 oz. uncooked spaghetti
 1 cup light cream or evaporated milk
 1 cup fresh or canned mushrooms, slicced
 2 cups chicken broth or bouillon
 4 Tbls. butter or margarine
 2 tsp. flour
 3 cups cooked turkey, diced
 3 tsp. sherry (optional)
 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
 1 tsp. salt
 1/8 tsp. pepper
 2 stalks celery, chopped (optional)
 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 375. Grease a 9X13 or 8X12 pan. 
Cook spaghetti as directed on the package. Drain. Melt 2 tbls. butter
in a frypan; add mushrooms and celery and cook until tender. Add to the
cooked spaghetti. Melt remaining 2 tbls. butter in frypan and add flour.
Blend until smooth; pour in chicken broth and cook, stirring constantly
until thickened and boiling. Remove from heat and add cream, sherry, 
salt, spices and turkey. Spread spaghetti mixture in pan; pour turkey
mixture on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake, uncovered, for
30 minutes or until bubbly.

Correction: The 3 tsp. of sherry should be 3 TBLS. of sherry. But pour in
as much as you want! (It's optional anyway)

Another correction: (Sorry! I was too hungry when I typed this!)
The 2 tsp. of flour should be 2 TBLS. of flour.
(Just use your imagination and make up your own amounts!)
