Herbed Turkey Tetrazzini image

There are many versions of this old-fashioned casserole. Mine offers a little more zip due to the thyme and lemon peel. It's a nice way to use up those turkey leftovers.

I'm not a fan of mushrooms, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of turkey, but this dish was surprisingly good. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the turkey was tender.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was too thin and the pasta was overcooked.
