This recipe is different because it's sooo very creamy! It's easy, fast and makes my kids ask for more! Chicken can be used in place of the turkey, and you can substitute 2 small cans of chopped mushrooms for the fresh. This is great taste for very little work!

Tips and Conclusion

To ensure a creamy and flavorful turkey tetrazzini, follow these tips:

  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth is the base of the sauce, so it's important to use a broth that has a lot of flavor. A good option is to use a combination of chicken broth and turkey broth.
  • Cook the turkey until it's tender. The turkey should be cooked until it's tender but not dry. Overcooked turkey will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a variety of mushrooms. Different types of mushrooms add different flavors and textures to the dish. Some good options include cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce should be cooked until it's thickened and creamy, but it shouldn't be overcooked. Overcooked sauce will be thick and gloppy.
  • Serve the tetrazzini immediately. Tetrazzini is best served immediately after it's made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Turkey tetrazzini is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a family meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a creamy and flavorful turkey tetrazzini that will be a hit with everyone at the table.
