Expert Tips

Classic Tetrazzini consists of strips of cooked chicken combined with cooked spaghetti and a Parmesan cream sauce spiked with sherry. The casserole is sprinkled with bread crumbs and baked until it is brown and bubbly.

Sherry is a fortified wine originally from the southern Spanish town of Jerez. Fortified wines get their sweetness and strength from a dose of brandy or another spirit.

This recipe may be baked immediately after assembly. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes, or until brown and bubbly.

    This recipe is fantastic! I first made it the day after Thanksgiving last year with leftover turkey, and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it turned out. It's pretty simple to make overall. I have served it with greenbeans and bread. A tasty different way to have turkey!

    I love this recipe, although I never make it ahead of time. Also, I cube and cook up chicken from boneless, skinless breasts instead of buying a turkey meat and it still tastes just great! One time I used canned mushrooms instead of fresh and, although I'm not normally a food snob and am all about easy, I have to admit that there was a difference in taste (i.e., fresh mushroom really do make a better-tasting dish).
