What do you do with your thanksgiving leftovers? Try to eat it all in the days following the holiday only to get sick of it? The best way to use your leftovers is to repurpose them in a way that everyone will enjoy AND if you double or triple it, you can freeze and enjoy a month from now too. Without further ado, I give you turkey tetrazzini. Actually, this one is courtesy of my lovely Mom, Berta, whom you all know and love. I’m sorry I do not have a personal photo of this, I wanted to get it on the blog in time for Thanksgiving. I will make a mental note to capture it next time I make it!
