We recently had a winter storm come through our area, and I couldn’t find any meats in the supermarket. I was left to defrost a turkey I had gotten on sale during the Christmas holiday.
There were some turkey leftovers, and I had the best recipe in mind, TURKEY TETRAZZINI! You can do anything to this casserole dish and come out a winner. I love using white wine or heavy cream, but I have used different broths, sour cream, cream cheese, and it has always been a family hit.
This recipe has had to be tweaked due to a younger child deciding not to eat sweet peas lately, but I pulled off a great Kid Tested Mother Approved Recipe that was another weekday dinner success.
You can use more turkey if you like, I didn’t have more than 4 cups, I love to have every bite with meat and veggies. They soak up the cream and you are left with delectable goodness.
