Simple Turkey Tetrazzini

*Petunia*'s Note:

I know, there are quite a few 'turkey tetrazzinis' on Zaar already! I went through 15 of the recipes and none of them are the same as this one. My Aunt, who runs a golfclub restaurant, makes this for club parties all the time.

This recipe was very good, even my husband liked it. He saw me thawing the leftover turkey and got kind of grossed out (he hates turkey) but he ate everything on his plate. It came out a bit watery, so I threw in a tiny bit of flour to the meat mixture before I mixed it into the pasta. It had lots of flavor and was nice and creamy. I added some dried chives for color, and a little bit of chopped garlic. I would definately make this again. Thanks for posting it!
