This creamy and comforting Turkey Tetrazzini is one of my favorite meals to make with leftover Thanksgiving turkey. It works equally well with leftover chicken and I often buy rotisserie chicken to use. Tetrazzini Ingredients In my opinion‚ the mushrooms and peas are essential for a tetrazzini. They’re my favorite part and I’ll admit that whenever I dish myself up‚ I always dig for a few extra mushrooms. A splash of sherry and a pinch of nutmeg also add wonderful flavor to a tetrazzini. Variations That being said‚ Turkey Tetrazzini is very adaptable and forgiving and you can leave any of these ingredients out to suit your taste. Try adding broccoli or even green beans instead of peas or mushrooms. No turkey? Use rotisserie chicken instaed. I love the flavor the sherry gives this casserole‚ but it can be left out. Use another pasta shape in place of spaghetti. Because when you have a creamy‚ cheesey sauce pretty much anything tastes good in it. From Scratch Recipe Quite a few Turkey Tetrazzini recipes use Condensed Soup to make preparation quick and easy and I make a lot of casseroles using condensed soup‚ including tetrazzini on occasion. But this one is from scratch with a creamy sauce made from butter‚ flour‚ chicken broth‚ milk‚ and heavy cream. If you don’t like cooking with canned soup‚ this is a great recipe to try. Make Ahead Like most casseroles‚ Turkey Tetrazzini can be made ahead of time. Another reason it’s a family favorite. Just get it all assembled‚ wrap with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Take it out‚ discard the plastic wrap and add a few minutes to the baking time. You have yourself a hassle free weeknight meal. How To Store Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days. Can It Be Frozen? Yes. Freeze the unbaked casserole for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. I recommend waiting to add the bread crumb topping until just before baking. Everyone will want seconds of this hot and creamy meal.

Author of How to Prep When You’re Broke and Bloom Where You’re Planted online course The word “insurgence” means a large increase. What with TikTok providing basically everyone a platform to spout their deepest thoughts in 30-second to 2-minute intervals‚ the insurgence I’m seeing is one of complete idiots. The newest trend on the social media outlet is a bunch of stunned young people making shocked faces at the camera and talking about the brilliance of… Osama Bin Laden. I could not make this up. Here is a glimpse inside the minds of TikTokers who are now certain Bin Laden was a benevolent genius. Do you remember the phrase‚ “Useful Idiots?” Observe Exhibit A below. TikTok has now rehabilitated Osama Bin Laden. 9/11 was justified and an act of resistance‚ they say. Decolonization is a death cult. pic.twitter.com/germOD11IL — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) November 16‚ 2023   We’re all passionate and naive about life at this age. I remember being in my late teens and early 20s. I was certain at the time that I knew everything and that if the world would just listen to me‚ I could make it a better place. I was pretty liberal (of course‚ this was in the late 80s and early 90s‚ when liberal was an entirely different animal than it is today)‚ and I was utterly convinced that I knew more about the world than my dad. In his wisdom‚ he challenged me with interesting questions and made me defend my stances with facts‚ not feelings. And so I evolved to realize that I didn’t know diddly squat. I guess these kids don’t have a dad like mine‚ because they can’t compose an argument worth beans. Let’s put aside for a moment all our doubts about what occurred on 9/11 and the actual culprit because that isn’t the topic of this conversation. In this conversation‚ these young people believe‚ lock‚ stock‚ and barrel‚ that Bin Laden was the mastermind of an attack on American soil that took out more than 3000 innocent people. And they think he’s awesome. It astounds me that there’s more information available than any other time in history…and they choose to “get educated” (a favorite buzzphrase) on a social media platform filled with baseless soundbites. What’s in this letter? It’s hard to find Bin Laden’s Letter to America online now‚ but here’s a copy on the web archive. After The UK Guardian pulled it‚ every other location I could find followed suit. I remember reading it back when it was first published‚ and my reaction was certainly not one of‚ “Ohhhh….this dude really understands life.” The letter is Osama Bin Laden’s ravings about “why” they attacked America. No sources are cited. He simply goes on and on about the evils of America and Israel through the lens of his religious beliefs. Bin Laden hated Jews‚ Americans‚ and gay people‚ just to name a few on his hit list. He believed that anyone who died on 9/11 deserved it and wasn’t innocent because they paid taxes to a country that committed the acts against which he had grievances. He was filled with hate. But because the first segment of his manifesto mentions the Palestinians‚ these kids with no critical thinking skills suddenly see him as a beacon of truth. The letter goes on to demand that everyone convert to Islam. It discusses how we’ve separated Church and State in America and says that’s a bad thing. Bin Laden cites such things as usury‚ gambling‚ intoxicants‚ incest‚ sexuality‚ homosexuality‚ and disease as uniquely American issues. It concludes: If the Americans refuse to listen to our advice and the goodness‚ guidance and righteousness that we call them to‚ then be aware that you will lose this Crusade Bush began‚ just like the other previous Crusades in which you were humiliated by the hands of the Mujahideen‚ fleeing to your home in great silence and disgrace. If the Americans do not respond‚ then their fate will be that of the Soviets who fled from Afghanistan to deal with their military defeat‚ political breakup‚ ideological downfall‚ and economic bankruptcy. This is our message to the Americans‚ as an answer to theirs. Do they now know why we fight them and over which form of ignorance‚ by the permission of Allah‚ we shall be victorious? This is just so dumb. Mark my words‚ at this rate‚ it won’t be long before some of these crazy Bin Laden fan-girls convert to Islam. They truly don’t seem to grasp that if they were to follow the mandates laid out by this letter that all their gay and trans friends would be put to death‚ brutally executed. They don’t understand they’d be owned by men from the cradle to the grave. They wouldn’t be allowed to be educated (though we can’t say formal education has done much for these folks)‚ and they certainly wouldn’t be airing their views on social media. There would be no more mimosa-fueled brunches‚ no freedom of movement‚ and no choices about what to do with their lives. They just don’t understand. Ignorance is bliss until it gets you a big fat dose of Shariah law. A few words about Bin Laden's "Letter to America"#lettertoamerica #Islam #HamasisISIS #IsraelAtWar pic.twitter.com/YPYucCnD6H — Dani Buller (@askdani__real) November 16‚ 2023 TikTok is cracking down. TikTok is cracking down on this and says it isn’t really “viral.” While TikTok said reports of it trending were inaccurate‚ the #lettertoamerica hashtag on TikTok had 13.7 million views as of Thursday afternoon. “Letter to America” also trended on X‚ the platform formally known as Twitter‚ where there were more than 82‚000 posts. “Content promoting this letter clearly violates our rules on supporting any form of terrorism‚” TikTok said in a statement on Thursday. “We are proactively and aggressively removing this content and investigating how it got onto our platform. The number of videos on TikTok is small and reports of it trending on our platform are inaccurate. This is not unique to TikTok and has appeared across multiple platforms and the media.” I think the genie is out of the bottle‚ though. Our young people have been radicalized‚ which is something I’ve written about before. They’ve been taught by our education system and our media to hate America. Look at all the radicalized professors we see in the news saying shocking things lately. And they really don’t have a clue how the real world works. But the problem here is not that some dumb kids don’t understand the world. The problem here is that they have been brainwashed to hate their own country. And how will people who hate America ever defend her? We’re watching the destruction of our culture in real time. Not all Gen Z kids are this ignorant. I’m not here to say every person of Gen Z age is horrible. There are notable exceptions. And most of those exceptions come from households like mine‚ who taught their kids actual critical thinking and the real difference between right and wrong. We challenged our kids to defend their ideas with facts‚ and if they didn’t have enough facts‚ we made them go look up more facts until they had a better grasp on the topic. Cherry-picking a few comments out of an eight-page letter and waxing poetic about the ravings of a terrorist is not critical thinking. It’s not edgy or cool. It’s idiotic. Perhaps these fans of Bin Laden need to go live amongst the Taliban for a while and then get back to us with some videos. What are your thoughts? Did you know that young people are big fans of Osama Bin Laden? Do you find this shocking? Do you think they’re confused or radicalized? Share your thoughts in the comments section.
