Turkey Tetrazzini - Meemaw Eats

Still got leftover turkey from Thanksgiving?

I had some turkey slices left over, so tonight I invented my own version of

Turkey Tetrazzini.

I started with a recipe online from Ree Drummond…The Pioneer Woman. (Thanks Ree!)

Then, you know me, I changed it up…based on the ingredients I had on hand.

First I sauteed some onions, garlic and red and orange mini peppers…

Then I added a box of chopped up portobello mushrooms…

I cooked them down and added a cup of Hubby’s sweet Moscato wine…(Not MY favorite, so we needed to use it up!)

I scraped up the brown bits in the pan and cooked the wine until it reduced by at least half…

Then I added an 8 oz. chopped up block of softened cream cheese…

Then I added about 3 cups of beef broth I had in the refrigerator…
And I added some leftover cooked bacon and about a cup of grated Parmesan cheese…

Then I diced up about 3 or 4 cups of leftover turkey and threw it in the skillet…

I let the whole shooting match come to a simmer…
Then I threw in a bag of frozen peas and I dumped it all into a large mixing bowl…and I stirred in the leftover noodles from Thanksgiving dinner! (No need to cook pasta.)

I dumped the whole mixture into a flat baking dish sprayed with cooking spray…
And I topped it with a sprinkle of Panko bread crumbs.

And instead of adding more calories by adding butter to the bread crumbs, I simply sprayed the crumb topping with cooking spray. (It works just fine!)
