Thanksgiving is almost around the corner.
Time to start thinking what to do with the Thanksgiving dinner leftovers.
You might finish the whole turkey on Thanksgiving, but if you’re lucky enough to have some left over, this is a delicious way to use it – maybe for Friday-night supper.
Turkey Tetrazzini Pasta Casserole
This Turkey Tetrazzini casserole recipe comes from a 1966 Jack and Jill childrens magazine.
The recipe mentions that Luisa Tetrazzini was one of the world’s greatest opera singers. The story goes that a famous chef admired her singing so much that he created Chicken Tetrazzini in her honor.
Since this is a recipe to use up those Thanksgiving meal leftovers, we’re using turkey instead of chicken.
Happy Thanksgiving!
