I originally made a turkey tetrazzini yrs ago after Thanksgiving to use up left over turkey but this works so well w/ chicken also and I was looking to make a dish that transitions us from Winter to Spring. So, it's a comforting dish but at the same time w/ fresh mushrooms and bright green peas, it reminds you of Spring.
