Toast the bread crumbs until golden brown. Set aside.

Add in the turkey, peas, seasonings, both soups and 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Mix until all warmed through, adding more pasta water as needed to thin the sauce.
Add in the linguine and mix together.
Spray a 9x9” baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or oil. Pour the tetrazzini into the baking dish.
