 you use only 1 teaspoon salt to start. The Turkey and broth both have salt
 already) , pepper, nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon paprika until mixture is smooth.
 Gradually stir in sherry and reserved chicken broth and cook stirring until
 liquid is thickened. Add half and half, Turkey chunks and mushroom mixture

 paprika. Bake in 350 F. oven 30 minutes or until spaghetti and turkey
