Turkey Tetrazzini

I had a request recently for Turkey Tetrazzini. Had a conversation with a friend about how certain foods become our comfort foods. For me Turkey Tetrazzini is a comfort food. Special childhood memories. I made the Tetrazzini for my friend and made some for home, too. Simple and full of yummy flavors and as expected, comfort.
