Okay,so Thanksgiving is over and chances are, you didn't finish all of that Turkey....Here is one think you can fix with your left over Turkey-


Cheesy Turkey Pasta


Ingredients:


8 ounce(s) whole-wheat penne

2 cup(s) 1/2-inch cauliflower florets

1 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 cup(s) finely chopped onion

1/2 cup(s) dry white wine

3 cup(s) low-fat milk

2 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh chives or scallion greens

DIRECTIONS:

1.Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 5 minutes. Add cauliflower florets and cook until the pasta and florets are tender, about 4 minutes more. Drain, rinse, and return to the pot.

2.Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine and cook until reduced slightly, about 1 minute. Whisk milk, flour, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl and add to the pan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low and stir in cheese until smooth. Stir Turke and mustard into the cheese sauce; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.

3.Stir the sauce into the drained pasta and cauliflower. Serve sprinkled with chives (or scallion greens).


Enjoy!
