Ingredients Needed For the Low Carb Turkey Tetrazzini
Before you make the Low Carb Turkey Tetrazzini, make sure you purchase the following ingredients from the supermarket:
- Zucchini Noodles. The zucchini noodles are a must for this dish because they replace traditional pasta as a low-carb alternative. They are full of flavor and taste great with the creamy sauce and turkey.
- Butter. Butter gets used when sauteeing some of the ingredients in this recipe, including the onions, garlic, and mushrooms.
- Baby Bella Mushrooms. The Baby Bella mushrooms offer a slightly chewy yet tasty texture to the dish.
- Cooked Turkey. If you have already cooked turkey, use the leftover pieces to prepare this delicious and wholesome dish.
- Heavy Cream. Create the perfect sauce for the Low Carb Turkey Tetrazzini using the sauteed ingredients with heavy cream.
- Garlic. The garlic adds more bold flavor to the dish. You cannot go wrong with using garlic!
You will also need some chopped onions, mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper to use when putting this dish together.
How to Prepare Your Low Carb Turkey Tetrazzini
The name of the recipe might lead you to believe that it is complicated to make, but that could not be any further from the truth. Preparing the Low Carb Turkey Tetrazzini is not time-consuming at all. Heat your oven to 400F while applying some nonstick cooking spray to a casserole dish.
In the meantime, you need to cook your butter, onions, mushrooms, garlic, and pepper together in a skillet on the stove. Place the turkey into the skillet, add heavy cream, and allow the ingredients to cook together for several minutes. Add your zucchini noodles, place everything into a casserole dish, add cheese on top, and bake for around 40 minutes or until the cheese is nice and bubbly at the top.
How to Freeze and Store the Low Carb Turkey Tetrazzini
Keep your Low Carb Turkey Tetrazzini in a casserole dish with a lid attached to it. If you are not eating it right away, keep it in the fridge for up to three days or in the freezer for as long as a month before reheating and digging in. When you follow this recipe, you will have more than enough to go around, which means you might actually be able to use up those occasional leftovers you have after Thanksgiving!
