Equipment
- 1 knife
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked turkey shredded or chopped
- 250 g pasta penne, fusilli, or fettuccine
- 2 tsp olive oil or butter
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup cooking cream half-and-half or evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 bell pepper chopped
- 1 cup frozen vegetables
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika optional
- salt to taste
- 2 cups mushrooms sliced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes optional
- 1 tsp Italian herbs
Instructions
- Heat the oil or butter in a large, deep pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for just 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Sauté for a few minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
- Stir in the cooked turkey, black pepper, paprika, Italian herbs, and salt. Toss well to ensure the turkey is warmed through and coated in the aromatics.
- Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes (if using) and combine.
- Add the dry pasta directly to the pan and give it a stir.
- Pour in the chicken broth followed by the cooking cream.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is al dente.
- Add the chopped bell peppers and frozen vegetables. Mix to combine and continue to cook for a few more minutes until the veggies are tender and the sauce has thickened beautifully.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese and toss to coat until the cheese is melted and the sauce is glossy.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with extra salt or pepper if needed.
