Crockpot Turkey Tetrazzini: The Ultimate Creamy Slow Cooker Comfort Meal
Print Recipe

This Crockpot Turkey Tetrazzini is comfort food made easy. A slow cooker does all the work, gently simmering turkey in a rich, creamy sauce made with cream cheese, cream of mushroom soup, and half-and-half. Once the turkey is tender and shredded, pasta, peas, and Parmesan are stirred in to create a cozy, satisfying one-pot meal. It’s perfect for using up leftover turkey, feeding a crowd, or enjoying a no-stress family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 cups cooked turkey, shredded or cubed

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup

  • 1 cup half-and-half

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 8 oz spaghetti, broken in half and cooked

  • 1 cup frozen peas

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Place the cooked turkey in the crockpot.

  • Add cream cheese, cream of mushroom soup, half-and-half, garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

  • Shred the turkey directly in the crockpot using two forks and stir to combine with the sauce.

  • Add cooked spaghetti, frozen peas, and Parmesan cheese.

  • Stir well, cover, and cook on LOW for 15–20 minutes, until everything is heated through.

  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Leftover swap: This recipe works great with leftover chicken instead of turkey.

  • Extra creamy: Add an extra splash of half-and-half or a bit of pasta water if the sauce thickens too much.

  • Veggie boost: Mushrooms or spinach make great additions.

  • Make it lighter: Use reduced-fat cream cheese and light cream of mushroom soup.
