TURKEY TETRAZZINI (Video Included) #WhatsCookingWednesday
We celebrated Thanksgiving on Sunday in Canada and because of that I have a lot of turkey leftovers. There is no better way to use up my turkey leftovers than our family favourite Turkey Tetrazzini.
Shopease Foods provided the 17lb Turkey for our Thanksgiving and I have a video on YouTube on how we did our turkey in our roaster last year and we did it the same way this year but you can view the video here. Time to get on with my Tetrazzini recipe now.
16 ounces Egg Noodles (spaghetti noodles)
2 tsp Butter
4 strips Bacon, cut into strips
1 small Onion, diced
1 small Red Pepper, diced
1 small Green Pepper, diced
1 stalk Celery, diced
3 TBSP Butter
1/3 cup Flour, all purpose
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 cups Turkey Broth
2 cups Peas, Frozen
3 cups Turkey, bite size pieces
