   Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a casserole dish with 2 teaspoons of butter.

4. 4

   Remove vegetables from skillet; melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter and whisk flour into hot butter to make a paste. Slowly whisk chicken broth and bring to a simmer; reduce heat to low and cook, constantly whisking, until sauce is thickened. Mix in cream, sherry, salt, and white pepper.

   Fold turkey, celery, and mushrooms into sauce; mix in angel hair pasta. Transfer mixture to the prepared casserole dish and sprinkle panko crumbs on top.
