Turkey and Tortellini Tetrazzini

"This is a great use for that leftover turkey! I got this recipe from the Raleigh News and Observer from a syndicated column called "Desperation Dinners". I tried it tonight and it was tasty. The original recipe called for 16oz of frozen cheese tortellini, but I could only find 20oz of fresh. It doesn't really matter since you add the tortellini after it has been cooked to the other mixtures. I'm listing here as I made it. Hope you enjoy!"

directions

  • Cook tortellini per package instructions and drain well.
  • While the tortellini cooks, heat oil in an extra deep skillet that has a lid over medium high heat. Add onion, mushrooms, carrots and garlic. Stir and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add peas, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, both soups and milk to the skillet. Stir in the turkey, Parmesan cheese and cooked tortellini. Stir well to mix.
  • Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the turkey mixture (do not stir) and cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and cook until heated through and the cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

  1. Made for Spring 2008 PAC. This was a split decision between DH and I. He really liked the fact that it was like a turkey pot-pie, but was confused by the addition of the pasta. I really liked the pasta, but was really unhappy with the flavor of the creamed soups. This was very easy to make and I'll bet it will make someone a great comfort food staple.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live in a part of North Carolina that's close enough to Raleigh to commute, but far enough away to seem like another world. I am loving small town living; I spent the first 38 years of my life as a suburbs girl in Florida. I love going to a small church and the fact that in a few years here we almost always run into someone we know when we go into town. I can't imagine living anywhere else now! <br />I work for a major computer storage company keeping one of our larger customers happy from a support (after the sale) perspective. My title doesn't really explain what I do, but the best way I've found to describe my work is that if everyone did what they were supposed to do, I would be out of work! <br />I don't get to cook as much as I'd like to, but when I can, I love to try new recipes! I'm always looking for great make ahead or CrockPot recipes that accomodate my crazy work. I love the feature on 'Zaar where you can find recipes by searching for an ingredient. I've come up with more dinner ideas that way! <br />I'm blessed with a husband who is always willing to try new things, but who is also happy to eat PBJ every night. That makes it easy for me, but I'm more fickle than that! <br />With just the two of us I sometimes have to wait to try larger recipes until we have company or for a church event and I *try* to keep the fat and calories down in my cooking, although lately I haven't done so well with that! <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><br /> 8727534"
