With Thanksgiving tomorrow, I wanted to share this overnight chicken or turkey tetrazzini recipe. It would be prefect to make this using leftover turkey.
There is no need to cook the pasta in this, that is where the overnight part of the recipe comes in. You mix eveything together and put it in the pan overnight. Then as the pasta sits overnight, it absorbs the chicken broth in there and softens. No need to precooking the pasta.

This recipe is easy enough, you could mix it all together Thanksgiving night and have dinner already for the next day’s dinner. If you don’t have leftovers, a rotissire chicken will work just as well.
