Turkey & Pasta Casserole

Disclosure- I received the mentioned product courtesy of the sponsor for the the purpose of this review. All opinions are genuine, based on my experience with the product, and have not been influenced by promotional items.


Did you all stuff yourselves silly yesterday? I definitely did! Even with all the chowing down, we still ended up with a lot of leftover turkey. Which is cool, because I always like to find creative and delicious ways to put those holiday leftovers to good use. My daughter is home from college this week and her #1 request for dinner when she's here is always fettuccine. Instead of making my usual recipe that has a very heavy cream sauce, I decided to try this Turkey and Pasta Casserole recipe from Golden Blossom Honey to keep things a little lighter for our tummies. After a heavy Thanksgiving dinner, we definitely need a few days of scaling back on the creamy and fatty recipes around here until we can get our bodies back in check. 


Turkey Pasta Casserole

After hosting Friendsgiving last weekend, attending a work dinner for the holiday, then spending actual Thanskgiving at his mom's house, my husband is sooooo over turkey right now. However, this recipe totally breathes new life into your leftovers since there's an awesome medley of other goodies mixed in. My family gobbled this dish right up, so I was pleased to see that our leftover turkey did not go to waste this year. A win for my wallet and a win for their tummies!


Ingredients
1 pound fettuccine, cooked according to package directions (do not overcook)
1 pound fresh spinach, washed, stems removed, chopped
5 Tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup half & half

1/4 pound mushrooms, sliced

  2. Sure a different way to use left over turkey indeed. And making it so that even if they say they are over it and yet still enjoy it, is a double win.

  4. I'm totally with your hubby on being over turkey. Yesterday I gave lots of it away to whoever would take it. LOL This definitely looks like a different way to eat the leftovers. Despite being sick of the food, it's better to be creative than wasteful. Happy Thanksgiving!

    This recipe is a great way to use up the left over turkey. We only got a small bird this year, so we have only a little left over. I think that would be enough though to make this turkey pasta casserole. Looks really good and I am positive my kids will like it.
