This turkey tetrazzini recipe comes from a cookbook our church compiled. It's convenient because it can be made ahead and frozen. After the holidays, we use leftover turkey to prepare a meal for university students. They clean their plates! —Gladys Waldrop, Clavert City, Kentucky

What else can you add to turkey tetrazzini?

Add a some chopped celery to the onion and green pepper in this recipe—and for extra flavor, sauté those veggies before adding them to the bake. Instead of jarred mushrooms, add 1/2 pound of sliced fresh mushrooms to the spaghetti during the last few minutes of boiling. Sprinkle in a little poultry seasoning for a savory flavor. Toss some sliced almonds on top during the last few minutes of baking for a little crunch.
