Turkey Tetrazzini Recipe. What do to with leftover turkey? This is the classic answer to that question.

Ingredients


unsalted butter 3 Tbsps
button mushroom 2/3 lb sliced thin
shallot 4 chopped
turkey 4 cups chopped
pea (frozen) 1 cup
white wine 1/2 cup
penne pasta 1 lb
salt 3 Tbsps
ricotta cheese 1 lb
Parmesan cheese 1 cup
