turkey tetrazzini squash bowls
This recipe has a special little place in my heart. Back in August, my mom told me that Granny wasn’t eating much because cooking had become too hard on her with her health. So, I decided to make her a Turkey Tetrazzini Casserole that she could easily pop into the microwave to heat up throughout the week. After dropping off the casserole to her, I received a super sweet text and even a shoutout on her Facebook. It really warmed my heart & made me so happy that I was able to do something to ease her pain a bit. Now that Granny has passed, Turkey Tetrazzini will always be one of those meals that brings back a memory with her that I am so grateful to have.
