Turkey Tetrazzini

December 4, 2020 by Empty Nester Leave a Comment

One of the best things about Thanksgiving is the turkey leftovers! Usually we go to my sister’s house for Thanksgiving. (We didn’t this year because of the pandemic.) But I still cook a turkey, because there are so many great ways to use excess turkey!

One of my favorite things to do with leftover turkey is to make Turkey Tetrazzini. Pasta and turkey. This is pure comfort food. Try serving this with Rustic Italian Wheat Bread and a salad.

Turkey Tetrazzini

Turkey, pasta, Parmesan cheese, mushrooms, and peas. This is a perfect use for leftover turkey.
