Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a 9x13 inch casserole dish by greasing with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large saute pan or cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil. Saute the celery and onion over medium heat until tender, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add the mushrooms and saute for about 5 minutes.
4. Add red bell pepper, poblano pepper, and garlic and saute for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
5. Add the 3 tablespoons of butter to the pan.
6. Whisk in the flour.
7. Slowly add the milk, whisking as you pour.
8. Then add the wine or sherry and chicken broth, whisking to eliminate any lumps.
9. Stir in the cream cheese, turkey, green chile, and the sautéed vegetables.
10. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
11. Stir in the parmesan, pepper jack, cilantro, and pasta. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
12. Transfer to the prepared 9x13 casserole dish.
13. For the Topping: Combine the panko bread crumbs and the melted butter. Set aside.
14. Cover with foil and bake in the oven at 400 degrees F until the sauces are heated through - about 10-15 minutes.
15. Remove from the oven and discard the foil. Sprinkle the buttered bread crumbs on top, return to the oven and bake until they are golden, about 5 minutes.
