{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Ranch Turkey Pasta Dinner



Ranch Turkey Pasta Dinner
Quick Cooking


"This entree is a great way to finish up a holiday turkey," reports Peggy Key of Grant, Alabama. "At times, I use chicken if I have that on hand instead. Try sprinkling grated cheese over the top of each helping for extra flavor."

SERVINGS: 4
CATEGORY: Main Dish
METHOD:
TIME: Prep/Total Time: 20 min.

Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups uncooked penne pasta

Re: Ranch Turkey Pasta Dinner
This is from the old Jan/Feb 2004 Quick Cooking and is a good one. I use a packet of dry Butter Buds reconstituted in 1/2 cup chicken broth instead of the butter and a frozen corn and black bean mix for the vegetables as some in my family don't care for green peas. I increase the vegetables to 3 cups and decrease the turkey or chicken to 2 cups. The fat goes way down to about 6 grams per serving and the calories to less than 350. Serve it with a green salad and crusty bread, for those who need it, and it is a very quick, substantial meal.
