Turkey Tetrazzini


This casserole is creamy, hearty and filling. Turkey Tetrazzini is a great way to use leftover holiday turkey and still feed a crowd!

I actually meant to post this recipe before Thanksgiving this year, but that just didn't happen. I love the holidays and often wish I could clone myself to get more done around this time of year! We had a lovely Thanksgiving Day spent with friends and then, the day after Thanksgiving we traveled to visit family and help celebrate my niece's first birthday!

It was nice to come back home to leftovers and not have to cook again. Sunday was church and family time. We decorated our Christmas tree. The kids still had Monday off, so we spent the day catching up on sleep, homework, housework and surfing the web for Cyber Monday deals.

Now, it's December! I hope to share more holiday recipes very soon. Stay tuned!

The Results...
Creamy, cheesy and filling. You will have plenty to feed a crowd. This is great for after Thanksgiving, especially for any family still visiting. Our family mostly liked this recipe. The two littlest ones ate this, but first had to pick out all the onions and peppers. I did the same thing when I was little, but now I really like the texture and flavor the onions and peppers add to this casserole. Overall, I'd give this casserole about 3.5 stars (out of 5).
