When my husband would ask me what I wanted him to make for my birthday dinner, I usually would ask for this dish! I absolutely love it! And, being a turkey junkie, it gives me my turkey fix. Haha! I also make this every year with leftover Thanksgiving turkey. And it is delicious made with chicken as well. :)

How To Make turkey tetrazzini

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 mins. Drain.
Step 3

Melt the butter in an extra large saucepan. Saute onions, peppers, mushrooms & garlic until just soft.
Step 4

Add in the flour. Whisk to remove any lumps. Then add in the milk, cream & chicken broth. Stir.
Step 5

Bring to a soft boil. Add in 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese. Stir & then remove from heat.
Step 6

In a large bowl, add in the turkey. Pour the sauce over the turkey. Stir well.
Step 7

Add spaghetti into baking dish. Add in the turkey mixture. Stir to blend well.
Step 8

Top with remaining parmesan cheese & mozzarella, if using. Bake about 1 hour, until bubbly & surface is lightly browned. ** Be sure to put a large baking sheet below the dish in the oven in case of bubbling over
