Chicken or Turkey Tetrazzini Deluxe

Becky H's Note:

This casserole is a great way to use leftover turkey or chicken. It is Delicious and freezes well too, but be warned that this makes ALOT, I usually freeze one half of this when I make it.

This was Very Good, I added different veggies to mine, since I don't care for peas especially. This can easily be adjusted or changed and I like that alot. The below poster needs to learn that you shouldn't lower a rating on a recipe when in fact your family is 'just picky'. Sorry...but that really irks me on ALOT of recipes I see. If you 'can't cook' or 'your family' is picky...then maybe you shouldn't even rate the recipe...you think?? Anyway, thanks for the recipe...I'll be trying some more!

This was delicious -- the kids cleaned their plates and my husband went for seconds! I left out the peppers (DH and the kids all hate them, unfortunately) and I used one can of cream of mushroom and one can of cream of chicken since that's what I had. Otherwise I didn't change anything... great recipe!
