Crockpot Turkey Tetrazinni Recipe

Recently I have been trying to use up some of the things in my freezer.  It's fun because not only are you saving money, but sometimes you come across little gems like the leftover smoked turkey breast from Thanksgiving.  When I pulled it out I knew exactly what I wanted to make because it's something that has been on my "to make" list for a while.  For this recipe, however, I wanted to shake it up a bit and make it in my crockpot.  That is how this Crockpot Turkey Tetrazinni Recipe came about. 

A true dump-and-go recipe, this Crockpot Turkey Tetrazinni Recipe is filled with goodness that the whole family is sure to love!  This is going to blow your mind so...

Let's Get Started!

For this Crockpot Turkey Tetrazinni Recipe you are going to need a few simple ingredients:

• 2 c Turkey or Chicken, fully cooked and diced.
• 1 lb. Pasta of Your Choice
• 1 15 oz can of Peas, drained
• 1 16 oz carton of Heavy Cream
• 1 8 oz Package of Mushrooms, sliced
• 4 c Chicken Broth
• 2 c Water
• 1 c Parmesan Cheese, grated
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Onion Powder
• 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
• Salt and Pepper, to taste
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil

To begin you will place the uncooked pasta in the bottom of your crockpot.

Next drizzle a little oil over the pasta and toss until coated.
This will help to keep the pasta from sticking together while cooking in the slow cooker.

Now pour in the chicken broth and water.

Add the seasonings and stir together.

Now top with the turkey*, peas, and mushrooms.

*You can use turkey or chicken for this recipe.  It's great for leftovers, but places like Aldi have small, fully-cooked turkey breasts or even rotisserie chickens.  You could even use a package of lunchmeat.  Whatever makes this easiest for YOU!  

Now place the lid on the crockpot and

set the temperature to LOW for five hours.

Look at how perfectly cooked that pasta is and there is no need to drain!  I LOVE this method!

Now add grated Parmesan cheese,

heavy cream,

And give everything a good stir together.

Top with a little extra parmesan and chopped parsley and you are ready to eat!

This one-pot Crockpot Turkey Tetrazinni Recipe is a dump-and-go delight and is packed full of flavor and couldn't be easier to make!  I know you're gonna love it so get in the kitchen and give it a try TONIGHT!
