Batting my eyelashes back atcha, I offer my variation on an old Sunset mag
recipe:

4 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons flour
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 1/4 cups light cream or half & half
1/2 cup white wine
3/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 lb mushrooms, sliced
1/2 pound spaghetti, broken in 1-inch pieces
1 pound leftover turkey, cut up
salt and pepper

In saucepan, melt butter and blend in flour. Gradually add chicken stock,
cream and wine. Bring to a simmer and stir 3 minutes or until thickened.
Blend in Parmesan. Meanwhile, sauté mushroom slices and cook spaghetti until
done. Combine mushrooms, spaghetti, turkey, sauce, and salt and pepper. Turn
into baking dishes. Bake 20-30 minutes at 325.

I've been known to roast a small turkey just to make this.
