Turkey Tetrazzini
Source of Recipe
Probably some cooking article my mother read a long time ago
List of Ingredients
- 4-6 cups leftover roast turkey, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups home made chicken broth
- 8 oz fresh button mushrooms*
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3 Tbl brandy (optional)
- 1 large jar pimentos, drained
- 12 oz uncooked spaghetti
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar/Monterey Jack cheese mixture
- 1 cup grated Parmesan**
- Paprika (optional)
- * You can use canned mushrooms but fresh are better
- **This is much better if you stay away from the dreaded green can
Instructions
- Break spaghetti into half. Cook in a large pot of boiling, salted water. Drain.
- Clean mushrooms and slice. Melt butter in a large skillet and saute mushrooms and onion until onion is tender. Pour brandy over mushroom, onion mixture and flame. Please be very careful when you do this.
- Mix all ingredients together in a crock.
- Butter one of those smaller oval, blue enamel roasters and pour mixture into the pan. Sprinkle paprika over the top of the casserole.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put a cookie sheet on the oven rack and place roaster of tetrazzini onto the cookie sheet. (This saves getting out the Easy-Off later on)
- Bake 30-45 minutes or until mixture is cooked through and is hot and bubbly around the edges.
Final Comments
Serves a whole crowd of people unless you've invited nephew, Billy, over for supper.
