This is a little bit of a departure from my usual super foods. Technically with the pasta it may not add up as super healthy food on some peoples lists. Still with all the candy and sweets around during the holidays, this is still relatively healthy and is a great way to use left over holiday turkey. I used turkey I froze after thanksgiving. It make enough for two dishes like the one below. I froze one. That will be nice to have because my training is going to be ramping up now, leaving little time for cooking during the week. Hope you enjoy it!
