Buffalo Turkey With Linguini

Mommy Diva's Note:

A tasty looking recipe I am dying to try found in my June 2009 issue of TOH's Simple and Delicious. This recipe uses meat cooked in a sister recipe - Roasted Turkey Breast Tenderloins & Veggies ( also posted). I am sure you could make them ahead using the similar seasonings too. :) ***Prep/Total time is listed as 25 minutes for the meal. I haven't made it yet so I can't say until I do. I assume the chopping will take a few....

• Total Time: 25 mins

• 4 turkey breast tenderloins, cooked and chopped (5oz each, see Roasted Turkey Breat Tenderloin & Veggie recipe for seasonings if desired)
• 2 -3 tablespoons louisiana hot sauce
• 1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled

1. Cook linguini according to package instructions.
2. Meanwhile in a Dutch oven, saute the onion, celery, garlic and carrot in butter until tender.

*** MADE FOR COOK-A-THON FOR MOMMY DIVA*** This was very, very good. I used soy milk in place of the regular milk, and omitted the cream cheese. I only used 2 TBS. of the hot sauce, but could have used more. And I am not a fan of bleu cheese, so I didn't use that. This recipe came together nicely. And I LOVE when I can cook one recipe, Roasted Turkey Breast Tenderloins & Veggies, and get another meal like this out of it. Thanks Mommy Diva for posting this recipe. Keep "fighting like a girl"!!!!
