Easy and delicious
Delicious casserole! I added a generous dose of seasoning salt. The cooking temp was missing. I baked it at 390 F for 45 minutes. Perfect.
Yummy! Skipped all the mushrooms and I didn’t have cumin.I used cream of chicken. We all enjoyed it and it was so easy.
we have always called this dish turkey tettrazini and an important ingredient not on the list are potato chips on the top of the casserole – but this is a good recipe with ingredients I always have in my pantry as who wants to go and shop after all the work that went into the turkey dinner; not me – straight from the pantry to the oven to the bottom of my grateful stomach
Made as written and this turned out pretty good. I’m typically not a casserole fan or a cream of soup fan but the flavor of this was really good. The one issue I had is that there is not enough sauce to get down into the noodles. I expected them to be “dressed” but they were plain. If I were to make again, I’d double the sauce. Overall this was a good recipe and a great way to use up leftover turkey.
