I am so excited about this recipe!!! I made it for supper last night to help use up the leftover turkey and my husband loved it!! He is a very pickey eater and he requested the leftovers for supper again tonight!! I asked him how many stars he would give it and he said "10 at least" Thank you for this wonderful addition to my collection!! Shortie

    I did something a little weird with this recipe, which I don't normally do, but since we had some many leftovers from Thanksgiving I substituted about 2 cups stuffing for the pasta and reduced the chicken broth to 2 cups. It was pretty good and definitely interesting!

    My Dh was enamored of this recipe as well. Apparently it's a real man pleaser. I subbed cheddar cheese for the neufchatel as that's what I had on hand. Everything came together as promised. I would recommend breaking the spaghetti up into 2" pieces in order to separate it and get it thoroughly mixed into the sauce without its sticking together in clumps. Thanks for making Dh a happy man, PanNan.

    I made this with a lot of changes (picky husband). I didn't use any vegetables except onion and red bell pepper. I used vegetable flavored low-fat cream cheese and didn't remember the breadcrumbs. Anyway, it was delicious. I also used the spiral pasta noodles. I will make this again tonight and freeze it for busy days this month! Thanks for the recipe!

    This is so, so good! I could eat the leftovers for every meal for days and not be sick of it. It's a great use for leftover poultry and very easy. I liked how clear the instructions are. I didn't have any light cream cheese and used 3 oz. regular cream cheese instead. I also increased the amounts on all of the veggies to about 1 cup each (didn't use mushrooms at all). I shredded the carrots and added them at the same times as the peas and turkey. The casserole was a bit thinner than I usually like and I think it was because of the extra veggies so next time, I will reduce the broth by about 1/2 cup. I will also make it with light cc and see how it turns out. I'm sure it will be great.

    Oh, this is very good! It is my first time having tetrazzini and I loved it. I checked all of the Zaar postings for tetrazzini and I chose yours PanNan, because I have made many of your dishes and they are always delicious so I knew you would not let me down. I did have to substitute the wine to Merlot so I cut it back to 1/4 C and added 1/4C broth to dilute it a bit. I will definitely make this again. Thx for another great one!

    I used leftover turkey and it turned out great. I didn't have any panko on hand so I used regular bread crumbs. Still good but panko would have been so much better. I think I will add some more parmesan cheese next time, but I'm a cheesaholic

    I made this for dinner today. I did cook the pasta in advance. It is a very delicious and filling meal. I love the flavors. I cooked one casserole and kept the other for one night next week. It is delicious. Please try this one.
