Transform holiday turkey leftovers into a delicious, comforting pasta bake.
Ingredients:
  • 500.00 ml dried macaroni pasta
  • 50g butter
  • 62.50 ml plain flour
  • 510.00 gm chicken style liquid stock
  • 189.38 gm pure cream
  • 625.00 ml shredded cooked turkey (see note)
  • 250.00 ml frozen peas
  • 125.00 ml chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 250.00 ml grated light pizza cheese
  • 125.00 ml stale breadcrumbs
  • Salad leaves, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a 6.5cm-deep, 20cm square baking dish. Boil pasta in a large saucepan according to package instructions until tender. Drain.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter until bubbly. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Gradually add the combined stock and cream, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium. Stir in turkey, peas, parsley, and half of the cheese, cooking for 5 minutes until heated through. Season with pepper, remove from heat, and mix in the pasta.
  • Transfer the mixture into the dish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs and the remaining cheese on top. Bake until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Serve alongside fresh salad leaves.
