- Use leftover turkey that is moist and flavorful. If your turkey is dry, add a little extra sauce or broth to the dish. - Use a variety of mushrooms for a more complex flavor. - Sauté the mushrooms in butter until they are browned and香气扑鼻. - Use a good quality white wine for the sauce. A dry Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc works well. - Don't be afraid to add some fresh herbs to the sauce, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage. - Cook the pasta al dente so that it still has a little bite to it. - Layer the pasta, turkey, and sauce in a baking dish and bake until bubbly and browned on top. - Serve the Turkey Tetrazzini immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or chives.
