At our house, the Thanksgiving turkey is really just there for show. We all actually show up for the side dishes. That means except for the drumsticks that my son devours, we end up with a lot of leftover turkey breast.
No one at our house eats sandwiches, so what are we to do with all that leftover turkey?
A casserole is the obvious answer. This gluten and dairy free version of the classic tetrazzini is perfect for a cool fall weekend after Thanksgiving. Enjoy!

***If you do cheese . . . freshly grated Parmesan takes this over the top***
