Turkey Tetrazzini image

Another favorite from The Encyclopedia of Creative Cooking edited by Charlotte Turgeon. This is a good recipe use up, or stretch, that left over turkey. It's a good make-ahead dish too, as you can put it in the fridge and then cook it later that day, or the next. This last time that I made it, I was unable to get the sherry called for by the recipe. I substituted a rose, and while the taste was a little different, it worked just fine.
