Turkey (Or Chicken) Tetrazzini

Submitted by Just Janie

"A great way to use up turkey. Also wonderful when made with chicken. I like to make up one or two batches and freeze in meal or individual serving size pans. I take them RVing for a easy home cooked meal without the fuss. I have added sliced mushrooms and diced green chilies for variety."
