NEXT DAY TURKEY PRIMAVERA

Next Day Turkey Primavera image

I make this recipe often around the holidays. It's a wonderful way to use leftover turkey without feeling like it's a "repeat" meal. I love pasta, and the creamy sauce in this primavera is so easy to make. -Robyn Hardisty, Lakewood, California
