I was snowed in today and while I had no aspirations for cooking dinner earlier in the day, I stumbled on Maria Mind Body's Turkey Tetrazzini recipe and my mental wheels got to turning. This recipe is different from hers in a lot of ways, I went with what I had on hand what sounded good to me. In the end, to what tasted good. Heck yes I'll share it with you here!
