  • Reviews

  • “I loved this (and so did everyone else who ate it)I substituted the turkey stock I made the day earlier for the broth and added three different types of shredded cheeses.Also added tarragon and garlic (since those are my favorite with poultry) and added about a pound of broccoli (cooked al dente)It was absolutely perfect for a one dish meal with warm bread.”

  • “I made this the day after Christmas.Let me tell you after spending two days in the kitchen preparing for Christmas it was great to get in and out of the kitchen in 30 minutes. Used my leftover turkey with egg noodles instead of spaghetti and whipping cream instead of the condensed soup, (i didn’t have these items so I substituted).My husband LOVED it. It was so tasty. I will definately add this this to my regular menu.”

  • “I halfed this recipe and we just loved it.I had a leftover turkey breast in the freezer from the last time I brined a turkey and it was just fantastic.This is a keeper!!!”

  • “Very delicious! Thank you for posting!”

  • “This was a big hit at my house, even with the picky eaters. (They did pick out the mushrooms) Thanks for sharing, RecipeNut! I did add garlic, salt&pepper and cooked the veggies in evoo instead of the margarine. It was still creamy – super comfort food. But even better than how good it tasted was how easy it was to clean up. I was afraid with all the cheese & creamy soups that it would be a casserole dish nightmare. It served up so easily, there was minimum clean up for the dishes, yippee! I did spray the casseroles with Pam.”

  • “I used RZ to cut the ingredients down to half, used homemade stock, and omitted the celery & peppers for the kids.The adults agreed that this was dry… if I made it again I’d use two cans of creamed soup on the half batch. Not bad, just not the creamy texture we were expecting.”

  • “Great dish.I made it with chicken.The only substitute I made was cream of chicken soup rather than mushroom.Everyone loved it. I will be making this often. Thanks for posting.”

  • “I thought this recipe was just great!Very easy and fast to put together.I was a little leary of adding a whole can of broth. But it didn’t turn out too liquidy like a thought, just nice and creamy.I did find it easier to combine the cream of mushroom and broth in a small bowl and then add them to the remaining ingredients in the 9×13.Thanks for posting, RecipeNut!”

  • “Pretty good.More like 30 minutes to prepare (not 10).I didn’t have bell peppers so I used some store bought shredded carrots instead – worked great.Next time I’ll use the cavatappi (as pictured) and not spaghetti, it was pretty messy to serve.I have to say it was better the 2nd day.”

  • “I can never have enough recipes for using leftover turkey..My DH and I thought this was a good casserole. I didquarter this recipe.Enough for another meal.. I used bowtie pasta,I used 1 tbls butter to saute veggies.Omitted mushrooms,Husband hates them. Omitted crm of mushroom .And for the cream of chicken soup (why open a can when I had broth in refrigerator)I used cream soup substitute#57287 and added more chicken broth and leftover whipping cream from baking.Pam sprayed glass dish. I also added more cheese over the top of baking dish before baking casserole.I will make this again…”

  • “A wonderful recipe-I also added 1/2 cup of slivered almonds & a small can of water crest along with1 lb. cooked broccoli .”

  • “Made this last night.used two cups celery due to no bell pepper fans at my house, also used fresh mushrooms and cooked with onion and celery.The mixture looked to thin due to my noodles being in a 14.5oz size.I chose to add a can of cream of celery soup.My family likes it better than the usuall recipe I follow with cream and a lot more time consuming so thanks for this recipe.”

  • “This was terrific, tasty, and easy. It wen’t over great with DH, too (leftovers gone within days).I halved the recipe and used fresh ‘shrooms, but otherwise followed exactly as written.Served it with steamed green beans and baked tomato halves. Very easy meal that looked and tasted like more work than it was.”

  • “This is a wonderful comfort food, it is so creamy and delicious.”

  • “This was really, really good.I added some black pepper and used cream of celery soup and omitted the mushrooms.I will certainly make this again.”

  • “I wish I could give this more stars.It is wonderful.I used left over white meat turkey.Can’t wait to have it again.”

  • “good stuff”

  • “Very nice.I used baby portabellos and velveeta cheese.Also some turkey stock I had on hand rather than broth.Next time, I might use red bell pepper just for a color contrast.”

  • “We thought this was really good and was easy to make. It did seem like it was missing something in the seasoning department though. I followed the recipe other then I didn’t use celery. I also used more cheese then called for because we like our tetrazzini real cheesy. I added a lot of pepper and my hubby said it could have used salt too. I will be making more often with the changes suggested. Thanks RecipeNut!”

  • “This was a creamy and satisfying dish that the entire family loved! I did not use sharp cheddar, I used Velveeta for a smoother texture and more traditional taste. Thanks for sharing this-it’s a hit with us!!!”
