My husband grew up on a farm, so he loves comfort food, and he really loves casseroles 🙂  This recipe is probably one of his all time favorites that I make.  He would eat it once a week if I’d make it that often, and it makes great leftovers for him to take to work the next day.  When I plan our meals, it’s important to me that we have enough leftover so he can have lunch the next day, even better if there is some leftover for my sons and I, too!Serving of Turkey Tetrazzini Casserole on a gray plate.When I joined Weight Watchers two years ago, it was my mission to eat GOOD food that was healthy and wholesome, but didn’t make me feel deprived.  With my history with food, it’s really important that I enjoy my food and don’t restrict foods I really love.  So, a diet with only chicken and veggies is sure to send me right into that binge/restrict mindset again, and I’m not interested in going back down that road.  That’s why I love this Turkey Tetrazzini Casserole recipe.  I promise you, your family won’t know you are staying “on track” if you serve them this casserole.  I think you’ll find yourself enjoying a healthy lifestyle much more when you start incorporating foods like this into your meal plan.  Food is meant to be enjoyed, and I hope you enjoy my FIRST recipe here on Beautifully Broken Journey!  If you try it, please let me know how you like it in the comments! Overhead view of Turkey Tetrazzini Casserole with a spoon and serving missing.
