Herbed Turkey Tetrazzini
There are many versions of this old-fashioned casserole. Mine offers a little more zip due to the thyme and lemon peel. It’s a nice way to use up those turkey leftovers.

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/3 cup sliced green onions
- 1 pound sliced fresh mushrooms

I love this recipe. The lemon and thyme perfectly balance the dish. The instructions on browning the mushrooms, then adding the zest provide sturdy mushrooms in the casserole. I didn't have the exact ingredients so I used leftover chicken, minced white onions while having to omit the parsley and almonds. I am sure the dish will be even better with all the ingredients as instructed.
