CHICKEN OR TURKEY TETRAZZINI CASSEROLE
Three flavors of canned soup takes the place of a creamed sauce for this recipe, I like to use 2 cans cream of mushroom and 1 can cream of chicken, I would suggest to add in salt if needed at the table as the creamed soups have enough salt already added . This is really good! :)

TURKEY TETRAZZINI
This classic turkey or chicken spaghetti casserole is rich with cheese and has a crunchy bread crumb topping. It was named after Luisa Tetrazzini, a famous Italian opera star at the turn of the 20th century. She enjoyed her fame with a flamboyant and generous public life, singing not only in opera houses but also for free on city streets: In 1910 she gave an outdoor Christmas Eve concert for a huge crowd in San Francisco. It's unclear exactly how this particular dish came to be named after her - it was certainly meant as a compliment - but some accounts say it was her own recipe. The optional curry powder isn't traditional, but it's delicious, and a little added flair seems in the spirit of Ms. Tetrazzini.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until just shy of al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directs. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat, and add the mushrooms. Season lightly with salt, and cook, stirring only occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and have started to brown deeply, 8 to 11 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the flour and curry powder, if using. Stir well, until the flour and the mushrooms are evenly combined and the flour is evenly moistened, about 1 minute. Whisk in the white wine, and let it come to a boil, whisking constantly. Let the wine bubble to reduce slightly, 2 minutes. Whisk in the chicken stock, and let it come to a boil. Cook until it thickens noticeably, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low. Whisk in the chunks of cream cheese (don't worry if the cream cheese appears curdled), then fold in the turkey, peas and the cheeses. Season generously with black pepper. Add the drained pasta and toss with tongs to combine. Taste and add salt if necessary.
- Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a small bowl in the microwave, and toss it together with the panko and the almonds. Sprinkle the panko-almond mixture all over the top of the pasta, and bake until bubbly and browned on top, about 25 minutes. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. It will be very creamy at first but will firm up as it cools.
Tips:
- Choose the right turkey: Look for a turkey that is fresh or frozen and has a sell-by date that is at least 3 days away.
- Cook the turkey properly: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and roast the turkey for 15 minutes per pound.
- Shred the turkey: Once the turkey is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Then, shred the turkey using two forks.
- Make the sauce: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Then, add the flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Add the turkey and other ingredients: Stir in the turkey, mushrooms, peas, and carrots. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Bake the casserole: Pour the turkey mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and golden brown.
Conclusion:
Turkey Tetrazzini Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover turkey. The casserole is creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. It is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
