Turkey Tetrazzini Recipe (2024)

Relax all… plenty of other tetrazzini recipes on the web, don’t knock this , plenty of room for all, I made it n loved it!

I cut the recipe in half and used creme fraiche instead of the cream cheese and cut the curry to 3/4 of the amount. I used leftover chicken and orzo instead of the pasta and mixed sh*take with cremini mushrooms and I added a minced leek. I also omitted the almonds. Cooking steps were followed exactly and this came out so delicious! The hint of curry mixed with the delicious sauce made this dish one of my favorites! Fantastic recipe!

I used leftover Thanksgiving turkey and gravy, adding hot curry, wine, garlic, mushrooms and the cheeses. Makes a lot. I halved the recipe.

This was a perfect recipe for leftover turkey from T-day. I would add some cayenne pepper in the rue or crunchy chili pepper spread to the plate for a little kick. Definitely a saved recipe for an easy family dinner.

This was an amazing way to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. I LOVED it!

1/2 recipe filled 9x13 pan

Nice variation on an old standard. Switched out Gruyere for Fontina (it's what I had on hand), delicious, a hit with all (but my daughter suggested passing on the almonds).

I loosely halved the recipe to use the quantities of ingredients that I had; next time would make the full amount of sauce. Subbed crème fraîche for half the cream cheese which worked nicely. Didn't use peas or curry powder. Mixed in some leftover cooked cabbage for added veg. Only used 3 cloves of garlic bc I find too much overpowering and hate smelling of garlic the next day; I would add one more clove next time. Flavour was lovely and delicate (not bland as some have complained).

It may not be "traditional," but this Tetrazzini is glorious! Adding curry to this recipe is an inspired inclusion. Can't wait until I have leftover turkey to make this casserole again. Gonna make it again exactly as written.

Just put this in the oven. Not sure if I used too much or the wrong type of curry, it’s very yellow but very yummy. Definitely not traditional tetrazzini but looking forward to it anyway.

A little bland, but a good “base” casserole recipe to use up leftover vegetables and turkey. Tonight I made it with some angel hair pasta and old frozen peppers and green beans. My family loved it! There are many ways to switch this recipe up depending on what you need to use up.

I made this today pretty much as in the recipe. Added an onion and some sweet peppers chopped up before the mushroom to add a bit of depth. It was delicious. Guests thought I was a hero! Nothing complicated, but a few more steps than simple. Worth the effort.

It may be good (although I’m not a fan of cream cheese in casseroles even though I love it in many things), but Turkey Tetrazzini it ain’t. Recipes do indeed evolve - but not to the point where they’ve become unrecognizable; then they need to be called something else that more accurately reflects the current iteration. Curried Turkey Spaghetti might be a better name for this. For most of us, Turkey Tetrazzini is spaghetti, bechamel, turkey, mushrooms, Parmesan, and crunchy bread crumbs on top.

I followed the recipe adding the he curry powder which I appreciate in other dishes but not in this. Will omit next time, otherwise easy dish to make.

Made as listed minus the fontina and almonds. And used hot curry. Having never had “traditional” tetrazzini, I don’t know what it was supposed to taste like, but I thought this was excellent. Only other change I would make is to use half the pasta.

This is as close to classic Turkey or Chicken tetrazzini as I've found. Great Cream cheese is an innovation . But no curry please. And almonds strictly a personal choice.

Outstanding recipe. A little different then the standard tetrazzini, we loved it as written.

Great recipe. I did not have the curry powder so mine was a bit milder. I did not think the almonds adding anything and would leave them off next time.

Had some left over turkey breast. Diced it up and followed this recipe. I cut it in half and it still made six nice servings. Added minced celery vs the mushrooms. Just wow!

Made for a large family Christmas gathering. Lots of compliments. Next time would use 12 oz. Of spaghetti. Thought it was a little dry

Really don't care what this is called - it's delicious.

Needs a bit more salt or just salt near end. Use .75 noodles next time. Instead of panto on top just put cheese on top and to avoid buying cover with tin foil

Made this and loved it. Didn't have any cream cheese or curry powder, but it was delicious without it. Am about to make it again with some leftover chicken. It's so creamy and rich! Not too complicated or fussy.

This was really good! As others have said, it makes a LOT of food so next time I will cut it in half since it is just the two of us but it tasted so good!

This is one of those variable forgiving recipes that can be easily tweaked with substitution. I followed it closely and it is wonderful (with an extra pinch of salt). Substitute chicken … or no protein and more ‘shrooms. The cream cheese is wonderful — yes you can sub with more cream/roux etc… but this was pretty wonderful. Doesn’t really need the fancy panko almond topping but it made a casserole more sophisticated. Have fun with it.

Made this with angel hair because that's what we had on hand. I would definitely make again and spouse loved it. I think I over-reduced the sauce in step 2 as it was a little dry. Would be tempted to halve the amount of pasta and would definitely double the amount of turkey.

Second year making this = great for turkey leftovers! It’s important to note that this is a lot of food: I don’t see how it can all possibly fit into a 9 x13 pan unless it’s very deep. I adapted it last year and this year for guests with more or less veggies and spice. It’s nice to have a departure from what people consider the ‘original’ which I also made for years. Yum!

Can this be frozen?

I didn't have white wine, so used red. Was worried it would be purple but after the curry was added it turned a beautiful brown. Also used broccoli instead of peas.
