I had some leftover turkey to use up and tried this recipe out. The flavor was very good. I made it "as is" except added a chopped onion that I sauted along with the mushrooms. If you make ahead and refridgerate be sure to add more heating time, I pulled ours out a little early and the dish should have been hotter. I served this with peas and since I'm a food mixer it all got mixed together. It's a keeper!

I made this tonight, and I was pretty disappointed. It was SO bland. I added salt and pepper to the sauce after it was done and that helped, but it was still too bland. It was also very greasy - if I were to make it again, I would cut down on the oil and butter quite a bit and would throw in garlic with the mushrooms and I would then add more seasoning to the sauce - salt, pepper, maybe a tiny pinch of cayenne or something for a little bite.

Very nice. The family enjoyed. We used our leftover Thanksgiving turkey to morph it into another not as noticeable turkey meal. This was great. We made as written except as of today there is not a direction of when to put in the pasta into the casserole. No big deal. We figured it out. Added salt and pepper tableside as well. Served with peas as suggested by another reviewer. Thanks for posting Sandaidh. Enjoy! ChefDLH
