What Else To Do With That Extra Turkey? Turkey Tettrazini (of course!)

posted by Laurie (The Passionate Penny Pincher)
Here’s another great recipe to use up a little of your leftover turkey! My sister-in-law gave me this recipe years ago, and it’s nice because it makes lots of food, and is incredibly frugal (especially with your leftover turkey!) If you make the whole recipe, you’ll have one for dinner and one to store in your freezer for when you’re in a hurry, so you’ll have two dinners with one planning!
***This one really does make a LOT of food, so if you want just one casserole, you’ll need to “half” the recipe :)
Turkey (or Chicken) Tettrazini
Ingredients
  • 4 cups cooked turkey or chicken
  • 1 lb. box spaghetti noodles, cooked and drained
  • 1 1/2 – 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 small green pepper chopped
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 lb. grated cheddar cheese
  • 2 cans cream of mushroom soup
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400.
  2. Mix all above ingredients together, pour in 2 greased 9×13 casseroles.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes.

Looking for an easy way to store frozen casseroles? I saw a great idea that I’m planning to use over HERE. Line your casserole dish with foil, pour in your meal, completely cover with foil and freeze in pan. Then when your casserole is frozen you just pop it out of the baking dish and into a large plastic bag to store until you need it. This minimizes your freezer space and allows you to keep your baking dish. I love it!
