One of the most popular dishes prepared the day after Thanksgiving in the United States is Turkey Tetrazzini, created by Ina Garten. You’ll want to use some of the turkey you have lying around from Thanksgiving, along with a few other things.

What Is Ina Garten Turkey Tetrazzini

This Turkey Tetrazzini was created by Ina Garten and features a sauce of mushrooms, cooked turkey, chicken broth, heavy cream, and seasoning. Put everything in a pot and simmer until you have a thick sauce, then stir in some cooked spaghetti or linguine. Once you’ve cooked all of the ingredients, you can put them in a casserole dish, cover the top with breadcrumbs and cheese, and bake for another 30 minutes.

Ingredients You Need

• Mushrooms: About half a pound of diced white mushrooms, try to cut them into medium size pieces.
• Linguine Pasta: You can use Linguine or spaghetti, but make sure to cut them into halves before boiling.
• Turkey: If you have some leftover turkey from last thanksgiving dinner, you can use them. Also, you can use frozen turkey and you should cook them before.
• Breadcrumbs: White Panko breadcrumbs will be great. You don’t need to use seasoned breadcrumbs.
• Chicken Broth: You can use Turkey broth or even water instead of Chicken broth.
• Heavy Cream: Use heavy cream or Whole milk, or butter and milk.
• Parmesan Cheese: Use parmesan, cheddar, or any kind of fast melted cheese.
• Butter: Try to use unsalted butter.
• Seasoning: Kosher salt and black pepper will be fine to season the dish.

How To Store Turkey Tetrazzini

Store In The Fridge:

After making Turkey Tetrazzini, let it cool to room temperature, then remove it from the casserole and place it into glass containers, then transfer it to the fridge. Properly stored, cooked turkey tetrazzini will last for 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator.

Store In The Freezer:

To avoid freezer burn, do not cover a hot serving of turkey tetrazzini and place it in the freezer. You can keep the turkey tetrazzini in the casserole dish it was cooked in. Then, you should store it in the refrigerator or freezer. Turkey tetrazzini that has been cooked and then frozen will keep for three months.

How To Reheat:

Preheat the oven to 350 F and cover the turkey tetrazzini (in an oven-safe dish) with aluminum foil. Then place the dish in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the turkey tetrazzini is hot all the way through and the sauce is bubbling at the edges.
