Turkey and Tortellini Tetrazzini image

This is a great use for that leftover turkey! I got this recipe from the Raleigh News and Observer from a syndicated column called "Desperation Dinners". I tried it tonight and it was tasty. The original recipe called for 16oz of frozen cheese tortellini, but I could only find 20oz of fresh. It doesn't really matter since you add the tortellini after it has been cooked to the other mixtures. I'm listing here as I made it. Hope you enjoy!

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

20 ounces fresh cheese tortellini
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup thinly sliced baby carrots
1 cup frozen green pea
2 fresh garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can reduced-fat cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup skim milk or 1/2 cup low-fat milk
2 cups chopped cooked turkey
1/2 cup shredded fresh parmesan cheese
4 ounces finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Cook tortellini per package instructions and drain well.
  • While the tortellini cooks, heat oil in an extra deep skillet that has a lid over medium high heat. Add onion, mushrooms, carrots and garlic. Stir and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add peas, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, both soups and milk to the skillet. Stir in the turkey, Parmesan cheese and cooked tortellini. Stir well to mix.
  • Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the turkey mixture (do not stir) and cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and cook until heated through and the cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
