Giraffe's Terrific Low-Carb Turkey Tetrazzini (with Almond Flour)


Here we are, a few days before Thanksgiving and most of us are already worrying about what to do with our overabundant supply of turkey leftovers.  '

Many of us are usually bored with eating our leftover turkey with gravy.

Well, we've discovered a way to avoid the monotony.

Say goodbye to boring turkey leftovers and hello to Giraffe's Terrific Low-Carb Turkey Tetrazzini!

We've baked a delicious, rich and saucy Turkey Tetrazzini casserole, without using pasta.

Instead, we've incorporated our Cheesy Smashed Cauliflower into yet, another recipe.  

This recipe might take a little longer than our other recipes. However, it's well worth the wait. My mother and husband agree, as this is one of their Post-Thanksgiving favorites.

Preparation time is about 15 minutes, while cooking time is roughly 1 hour and 20 minutes. 

All that is needed for this recipe are the following ingredients:


  • 4 Cups of Shredded Left Over Turkey
  • 3 Cups of Chicken Broth
  • 3 Cups of Cheesy Smashed Cauliflower
  • 2 Cups of Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 Cups of Shredded Cheese of Choice
  • 2 - 4 oz. Cans of Mushrooms
  • 1 2/3 Cup of Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 Stick of Butter or Margarine
  • 1/2 Cup of Almond Flour
We'll begin by melting our stick of margarine on medium heat, in a large pot.




We'll then, add our Almond Flour and will stir, until completely blended.





Next, we'll add our Chicken Stock, Heavy Whipping Cream, and will bring to a boil.

We'll continue stirring our mixture, so that our liquid does not curdle and burn.







As soon as our liquid begins to boil, we'll add our 1 1/3 cups of Parmesan Cheese, stir, and will remove our pot from our heat.




We'll then, pour our turkey and Cheesy Smashed Cauliflower into our mixture and will stir.







Next, we'll preheat our oven to 350F degrees and will spray our baking pan with cooking spray.



We'll then, pour our turkey mixture into our greased pan, add our mushrooms.and will stir.  



Next, we'll sprinkle 1/3 cup of Parmesan Cheese and 2 cups of Shredded Cheese over our mixture, and will bake for 1 hour, or until slightly browned.





After the top of our casserole has slightly browned,  we'll remove our dish from our oven,  and will allow our tetrazzini to cool and thicken, for about 30 minutes.  


Our dish is absolutely Deeeelish!  

As our casserole was baking, its aroma was not only permeating our apartment, but was also tantalizing our tastes buds!


Completely unbelievable how our dish tastes just like a turkey and rice casserole, although rice is not present. 


Hope you enjoy your meal as much as us!

From our kitchen to yours ~

Buon Appetito!
