Turkey And Cheese Tortellini
We do a lot of planned leftovers at Add Salt & serve, and this is a delicious and easy way to use leftever turkey or chicken. The cheesy sauce makes it a family favorite!
Ingredients
- 10 oz. condensed cream of chicken soup
- 2 cups frozen peas, (or peas and carrots)
- 2 cups turkey or chicken, cooked and cubed
- 1 pkg. cheese tortellini
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, sharp, shredded
- 1 cup milk, or enough to get desired consistency
Instructions
- In a large pot, boil tortellini according to package directions.
- In a separate baking dish, mix together soup, peas, turkey, and 1.5 cups of cheese.
- Add cooked, drained tortellini to the soup mixture and stir gently until well blended.
- Add milk a little at a time as needed for consistency, stirring gently after each addition.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese over top of tortellini. Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes or until bubbly.
Notes
For a delicious vegetarian option, increase the vegetables (I like to use peas and carrots or change to a Normandy-style mix of frozen vegetables), and swap out the soup to cream of mushroom or celery.

Because adding the milk was not in the directions I forgot to add it and now my dish is so dry 😭 but overall pretty tasty.
