Chicken Or Turkey Tetrazzini
This is my version of my husband's favorite casserole. it is a great way to use up the leftovers from the holiday turkey. you can also use the meat from the ready to eat rotisserie chickens availabe in grocery stores. traditionally my mother-in-law cooked the chickens in a large stock pot with vegetables and poultry seasoning and picked the meat from the bones for the casserole and used the stock for soups.
