EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

This elegant one-dish meal is a spin-off on Chicken Tetrazzini, a dish said to have been named for opera singer Luisa Tetrazzini.

Need a shortcut? Omit steps 3 and 4, and make a quick sauce by mixing 1 can each (10 3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups, 3/4 cup milk and 2 tablespoons dry white wine or chicken broth in a large bowl. Stir in spaghetti, turkey, olives and almonds. Spread the mixture in the baking dish, and sprinkle with cheese before baking.

I used left over turkey and this was delicious. With all the cheese and cream it's not a very healthy option, but it is a real comfort food for around the holidays.
