TURKEY PRIMAVERA

This is a great dish for some of that left-over turkey, if there IS any!

Provided by sherry monfils

Categories     Turkey

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 can(s) fat-free, condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 c fat-free milk
3 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 bag frozen veggie combo like, broccoli, cauliflower and carrots
2 c cooked, cubed left-over turkey
8 oz ronzoni healthy harvest spaghetti

Steps:

Tips:

  • Prep Your Turkey: Before you start cooking, remove the giblets from the turkey cavity and pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
  • Use a Brine: Brining the turkey for 12-24 hours before cooking helps to keep it moist and flavorful. You can use a simple brine made with water, salt, and sugar.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your turkey liberally with salt, pepper, and herbs. This will help to enhance the flavor of the turkey.
  • Roast the Turkey Breast Side Up: This will help to keep the breast meat moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Cover the Turkey: Covering the turkey with foil or a lid during roasting helps to keep the moisture in and prevent the turkey from browning too quickly.
  • Baste the Turkey Regularly: Basting the turkey with its own juices or a flavorful liquid helps to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Let the Turkey Rest: After roasting, let the turkey rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the turkey, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.
