Whether you have Chicken or Turkey for Thanksgiving, here is an excellent way to use up all those leftovers! Chicken or Turkey Tetrazzini is filled with a freshly grated Parmesan Cheese sauce, mushrooms, pasta and more!

If you do not have leftover Chicken or Turkey, I like to buy the rotisserie chickens at Sam’s Club. They are delicious, large, fully cooked and only cost $4.98 each! I can’t buy an uncooked chicken for that! They are cooked fresh daily. There is so much meat on them that I get multiple meals from just one chicken.

  14. A great old standby! I use the sherry, too, which allegedly is from the original recipe (note “allegedly”). Sometimes I use half milk and half chicken stock, or mostly chicken stock with a touch of cream if I have any on hand. But any way you do it, it’s a delicious bit of comfort food.

  17. My son is allergic to mushrooms, so I’ve had to tailor my recipes when he comes for dinner. Pearl onions, peas, carrots, broccoli, etc. work well as a substitute.
    I was about to look for a recipe for Tetrazzini when your post popped up. I will have to learn to search your site first! This looks delicious.
