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.

Very good - added a little garlic salt, red pepper and tyme because it didn't have any spices. My husband loved it. We would make it again. But I would cut it in half since there are just 2 of us.
