    🥘 Ingredients

    • Dry Pasta - I like to use thin Spaghetti or Linguine or Angel Hair Pasta for this recipe. Remember, this pasta holds more flavors.
    • Olive Oil - to cook the onions and mushrooms
    • Yellow Onion finely chopped
    • Mushrooms sliced

    For Creamy Sauce

    • Chicken Broth - I like to use Low Sodium Chicken Broth. If you're using regular Chicken broth, balance the amount of salt you are adding by tasting this.
    • Turkey cooked, chopped into chunks OR shredded
    • Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup - you can replace this with Cream of Chicken Soup or just some softened Cream Cheese if you wish to
    • Heavy Cream
    • Italian Seasoning
    • Salt and ground Black Pepper as per taste
    • Garlic minced - Yes, I like to add minced garlic in the sauce as it adds more depth of flavors as it gets baked into the Pasta.
    • Worcestershire Sauce
    • Dijon Mustard
    • Mozzarella Cheese shredded

    To bake the Pasta

    • Mozzarella Cheese to top the Pasta
    • Italian Breadcrumbs to top the Pasta
    • Dried Parsley to top the Pasta

    See recipe card for quantities. Also, watch the video for a quick visual.

    Healthy Turkey Tetrazzini

    🤔 Is this Turkey Tetrazzini healthy?

    Turkey is certainly healthier and lighter as compared to any other meat. However that does not mean that this recipe is too healthy. To make this healthier and lighter, replace Heavy cream with Plain Greek Yogurt and skip cream of Mushroom soup. You can use Vegan Cheese Sauce instead.

    🤩 Easy Turkey Tetrazzini (steps no one will tell you)

    • Just to make this easier, after you've browned the onions and mushrooms, dump all the ingredients to make the sauce in the same skillet. Stir to combine everything at once
    • Now, just toss this mixture with the cooked pasta and you're done. Its so easy!

    Leftover Turkey Tetrazzini in a Dutch Pot

    One Pot meals are the best and you can easily make this Turkey Tetrazzini in the dutch pot. To make One Pot Turkey Tetrazzini, follow these steps.

    • First of all, heat butter or olive oil and brown the Onions and Mushrooms
    • Next add all the ingredients to make the Creamy sauce along with Turkey chunks
    • Once the mixture comes to a simmer, add the uncooked pasta along with Chicken broth
    • Cover and cook until the pasta gets al dente for 20 - 25 min, stirring every often so that nothing gets stuck to the bottom of the pan.
    • Top with more cheese and breadcrumbs and cover cook for 10 minutes or until the Cheese melts on top
    • Garnish and serve.

    🤔 What is the difference between Tetrazzini and Alfredo?

    Both Tetrazzini and Alfredo are a creamy pasta recipes. However, Tetrazzini is usually a pasta bake and alfredo is a creamy pasta. Also, Mushrooms are typically used along with Chicken or Seafood or Turkey to make Tetrazzini.

    🤔 Can I make this ahead of time?

    Yes of course! To make this ahead of time, make the Pasta and sauce separately and keep in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Before baking, combine everything together, dump and bake the pasta with extra cheese on top! You can add a splash of milk to this so that this does not dry out.
