I'm not a big fan of turkey, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sauce is so flavorful and the pasta is cooked perfectly.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover turkey. I also like to add some chopped broccoli or asparagus to the dish for extra veggies.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sauce turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but I think it would be great for someone who loves creamy pasta dishes.

This is the best turkey tetrazzini recipe I've ever tried! It's so creamy and flavorful, and the addition of mushrooms and peas gives it a nice texture and flavor boost. I love that it's a one-pan dish, too, so it's easy to clean up.
