Submitted by Polly W

"I found this on Teri's Kitchen web site that I frequent often.You can use turkey in place of the chicken and it is just as good. This is a great recipe to use up left over chicken or turkey and is vary easy to make on those weekday nights when you don't know what to make for dinner !!"

I made this days ago but somehow forgot to rate it... silly me! anyway this was wonderful and all that was needed was some fresh garlic which I added in with the onions and mushrooms and also added in some crushed chili flakes for heat, the breadcrumb topping it the icing on the cake! Polly thank you for sharing this great dish!

Very easy to put together after work, for a tasty dinner. I used left over turkey. I liked the addition of the nutmeg. I also like the fact that this isn't heavy with sauce or cheese, like some tetrazzinis. I halfed the recipe with success (baked in a smaller dish). Made for Fall 2008 PAC.
