TURKEY TETRAZZINI

Turkey Tetrazzini

This recipe is not only a classic, but it’s a great way to use up leftover turkey. Plus, you can easily substitute 2 cans of tuna to make a tuna noodle casserole...

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1-1/4 cups milk
• 1-1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1/2 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
• 3-1/2 cups cooked egg noodles
• 2-1/2 cups cooked turkey chunks 
• 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 1/3 cup breadcrumbs

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk together butter, flour, milk and chicken broth in a 2.5 quart baking dish. Microwave on high for 6 minutes, stirring every two minutes. Keep an eye on mixture to make sure it doesn’t boil over in microwave.
2. Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, Parmesan and Swiss cheeses until combined and melted. Stir in egg noodles, turkey, mushrooms and peas. Top with breadcrumbs and bake 25-30 minutes, until top begins to brown, and casserole is bubbling.

Tip: Adding 1/4 cup cooked bacon pieces makes this dish even better!
