1 cup parmesan cheese (divided)
4 ounces light cream cheese (low fat)

2 cups turkey meat, cooked and shredded (or chicken)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (I use panko)

  • Add onion, celery, pepper, salt, carrots, and mushrooms (optional).

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish. Use fresh herbs, vegetables, and meat.
  • Don't overcook the turkey: Turkey can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan are all good choices.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but you can easily customize it to your own taste. Try adding different vegetables, herbs, or spices.

Conclusion:

Baked Turkey Tetrazzini is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. It's also a great way to use up leftover turkey. With its creamy sauce, tender turkey, and crispy breadcrumb topping, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
