Turkey Tetrazzini

by Jamie

Thanksgiving is this week!!!!! Woo Hoo! Can’t wait. 🙂

If you are still looking for something great to cook, you can see 30 Wonderful Thanksgiving Recipes HERE. If you are looking for a few great ways to use thanksgiving leftovers then click, HERE, HERE or HERE.

Now, let’s talk about the recipe of the day. Man, this Turkey Tetrazzini is fabulous. Wonderful!!! is what I am telling you here. My family loved it with a gusto I haven’t seen in quite some time. Thin spaghetti noodles, and tender turkey chunks are covered in a creamy, cheesy sauce that is rich with layered flavors. Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese are sprinkled on top, then the whole dish is baked to a heavenly delight. It’s comfort food at it’s finest. 🙂

Make it! Please make it at your earliest convenience. I know you might have your hands on some leftover turkey here in the  next few days. This recipe would make you popular with your family, it surely would.

Let me show you how to make it happen…

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Boil some water in a medium-sized pan. Salt the water generously, then cook half a box of spaghetti noodles. Drain the noodles…

IMG_9844

and place them in a 3 quart casserole, or 7×11 pan that has been coated with cooking spray.  Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the noodles and toss them around a bit so the butter has a chance to melt. This gives them a nice rich flavor, while keeping the noodles from sticking together.

3. While your noodles are cooking, slice 1 cup mushrooms and chop 1 onion.

4. Into a hot skillet place 2 tablespoons of butter. Once it has melted add the mushrooms and onion. Hit it with just a bit of salt and pepper. Saute the yummy veggies over medium high heat until the onions are translucent.

5. Add 1 can cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup milk. Whisk it in to combine.

6. Add 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning and 1/8 teaspoon dry mustard. Stir to combine.

7. Add 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese and stir it in. Once the cheese has melted remove the pan from the heat.

and 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese over the top of the sauce.

10. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley over the cheese.
11. Pop it into the oven (uncovered) and bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sides are bubbly.

Just wanted to let you know that there is an ad on your homepage for “Frigo” that has a girl with no shirt on and a tag line that says, “Men, Stop wearing underwear!”

I’ve never tried any Turkey Tetrazzini before. I used cream of celery soup and some other changes. We loved it. Thanks for sharing!

Sandra Wimbish December 11, 2013 - 4:53 pm

This was so yummy. I have 3 children and they all loved it. I did change one thing, Instead of the mozzarella cheese on top, I used fresh breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese, with a little drizzle of melted butter. I will definitely make again!

I made this last night and it was delicious! I used leftover smoked turkey and fresh parsley instead of dried and it was amazing. Will definitely make again.

I was looking for a recipe to use leftover turkey and found this one. I substituted cream of chicken soup for the mushroom soup.
My family says this should be a regular dish for dinners.

Hint: if you have leftover gravy, use it instead of the cream of mushroom soup. Much more flavor!

Every time I make a recipe like this- I always lay that pasta in bottom and think “this won’t be enough” but it always is. The proportions are perfect. We really loved this recipe. It is now on my “pin win” board. We used Hillshire Farm Carving Board Turkey. Turned out great.

I would love to leave a photo of my finished product. Except for the vessel, it looks nearly exactly like yours. Waiting for it to cool. I’ll let you know how it tastes. Though I imagine we will not be disappointed. Thanks for the recipe.
