Leftover turkey pasta

By -
There's a good variation of this recipe here with peas and bacon:

But on the rare occasion that I don't have peas in the freezer, let alone bacon, you can really make this with ONLY turkey leftovers. I also made it with some chopped spinach thrown in. SO GOOD!!!

butter
1 tbsp finely chopped onion
sprinkle of garlic powder (or an actual garlic clove - I was out!!)
leftover turkey
whipping cream
linguine
parmesan

In a frying pan, melt a good knob of butter (maybe 2 tbsp?) and saute the onions until they're really soft, sprinkle the garlic powder in it too.

Meanwhile in well-salted water, cook some linguine.

Chop up some turkey, add to the frying pan. Add some vegetables if you want - but keep it simple, some peas or some chopped spinach would be good. Pour in some cream - could be whipping cream, coffee cream would work - maybe 1/3 cup? Heat it through and let it bubble so it thickens a bit.

Drain your pasta, put in the frying pan, mix with the cream and turkey, sprinkle with some parmesan and mix - top with more parmesan if you want.

Yum!

Add yeast mixture and remaining 1 1/2 cups warm water and stir until smooth, then stir in 1 cup more flour. If dough sticks to your fingers, stir in just enough flour (up to 3/4 cup), a little at a time, to make dough just come away from side of bowl.
