Steps:
- Preheat large Dutch oven or pot on medium heat and swirl oil to coat. Add onion and saute for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add ground turkey and cook for 5 minutes, breaking into pieces and stirring with spatula.
- Add pasta, stock, salt and pepper; stir and level with spatula. Then cover and cook on low heat for 10-12 minutes, checking after 10 minutes. Brown rice pasta and any gluten free pasta cooks faster than wheat.
- When pasta is al dente (not too soft, so it doesn't become a mush), turn off heat and add broccoli, tomato, garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir, cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Add parsley and Parmesan cheese and gently stir. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Trim or break off the flowerettes of the broccoli. There should be about five cups. Bring enough water to the boil to cover the broccoli pieces when they are added. Add the broccoli and cook about three minutes or until crisp-tender. Do not overcook. Drain thoroughly.
- Melt two tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. When blended, add the milk, stirring rapidly with the whisk. When thickened and smooth, add the salt, nutmeg and cayenne. Add the cream and remove from the heat. Stir rapidly with the whisk while adding the egg yolks. Stir in the cheese. Set aside.
- Bring the water to the boil in a saucepan and add the salt and fettuccine. When the water returns to the boil, cook to the desired degree of doneness. Fresh fettuccine will cook in about two to three minutes; dried fettuccine may require up to nine minutes or longer. Drain. Return the fettuccine to the cooking utensil and add one tablespoon of butter. Add salt and pepper to taste and toss briefly
- Meanwhile, cut the turkey meat against the grain into thin slices. Spoon the fettuccine into an oval baking dish (a dish measuring about 13 by 10 by 2 1/2 inches is ideal). Scatter the broccoli pieces evenly on top.
- Heat two tablespoons of butter in a skillet and add the meat and garlic. Cook, stirring briefly, just to heat through. Scatter the slices over the broccoli. Spoon the cheese sauce over all. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the sauce. Place in the oven and bake 10 minutes. Run under the broiler until nicely browned on top, about two to three minutes.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs, adding the broccolini during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and broccolini. Meanwhile, roll the sausage meat into about 20 small meatballs. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Pour off any drippings from the skillet, then add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, the garlic, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring, 1 minute. Add the pasta, broccolini and meatballs. Whisk the egg with the reserved cooking water in a small bowl, then add to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the pasta among bowls. Sprinkle with the cheese and drizzle with olive oil.

TURKEY WITH PASTA AND BROCCOLI
Another favorite leftover dish usually contains leftover cooked poultry blended with freshly cooked pasta, such as thin spaghetti, spaghettini or vermicelli, with a cheese sauce spooned over and baked, such as a Tetrazzini. With this in mind, Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey of The New York Times came up with the recipe that consists of thinly sliced cold turkey (light or dark), fettuccine, a cheese sauce (preferably made with Gruyere cheese) and bits of broccoli. It is then baked until bubbling and goes quite well with a chilled Burgundy-type wine, such as a lightly chilled Beaujolais or a nice full-bodied dry white wine.

Tips:
- Utilize versatile ingredients: Turkey is a lean protein that pairs well with various flavors and cooking methods. Pasta and broccoli add bulk and nutrients, making the dish a well-rounded meal.
- Enhance flavors through seasoning: Garlic, oregano, and paprika bring depth and warmth to the dish. Adjust the seasonings to your taste preference.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the turkey, ensure there's enough space in the pan to allow even browning. Overcrowding may result in steaming rather than searing.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Slightly undercooked pasta will continue cooking in the sauce, preventing it from becoming mushy.
- Balance the sauce consistency: If the sauce appears too thick, add some pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.
- Garnish for visual appeal: A sprinkle of fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese adds a vibrant touch and enhances the flavor.
Conclusion:
This recipe offers a delectable combination of flavors and textures, making it a perfect choice for a hearty and satisfying meal. The versatility of the ingredients allows for customization to suit individual preferences. Remember to cook the pasta al dente and adjust the sauce consistency to your liking. Experiment with different herbs and seasonings to create a unique flavor profile. With careful attention to detail, you'll be able to prepare a delicious and visually appealing dish that everyone will enjoy.
