Instructions:

Saute Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the margarine over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers, and sauté until they are tender and fragrant.

Prepare Turkey and Chicken: Cook the chicken and turkey breasts until they are fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Once cooked, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces using forks.

Cook Spaghetti: Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until it is al dente. Drain and set aside.

Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, shredded turkey and chicken, sautéed vegetables, mushrooms, chicken broth, and grated sharp cheddar cheese. Gently toss until all ingredients are well combined.

Assemble and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Divide the mixture evenly between two 9×13-inch casserole pans. Spread the mixture evenly in each pan. Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the Tetrazzini is hot and bubbly, and the cheese is melted and golden brown on top.

Serve: Once baked, remove the Tetrazzini from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra flavor boost.
