re: Leftover dark turkey meat recipe?

Turkey Tetrazzini.


1 1/2 pounds turkey - I used white meat, but whatever you have is fine.
2 cups Turkey or chicken broth
black pepper
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 Small onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 medium jar Pimento
1 cup mushrooms, sliced and sautéed
1/2 stick of butter
16 ounces pasta - vermicelli or spaghetti water and salt to boil
12 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 can tomatoes - use whole tomatoes with tomato juice and crush them when adding
salt and black pepper to taste. May take a teaspoon of salt when mixing ingredients before baking1.
1 Tablespoon Poppy Seed to top casserole.

Cook turkey with two stalks celery and two teaspoons black pepper in two cups of broth.

When cooked, remove from broth and cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Set aside.

Chop onions and peppers. Mince garlic. Sauté in half stick of butter.

When vegetables are tender, add pimento and mushrooms and continue cooking for a few minutes.

After cooking the vegetables for a few minutes, mix the vermicelli, crushed tomatoes with juice, 1/4 cup brown sugar, vegetables, chicken and cheese. Add to a Pam sprayed casserole dish. This makes a large casserole dish.

Sprinkle poppy seed over dish and cook covered in foil at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes, until bubbly.

Eat with buttered crusty bread.
