Turkey Pasta Supreme

Submitted by Saulo

"I found this recipe in Taste of Home many years ago, and I have been fixing it for years. It is very flexible: you may use other meats instead of turkey (I have used tuna and beef bits), and you may also add a vegetable like peas or mixed vegetables. It's always a hit with everyone, including children!"

I had leftover sliced turkey from church family camp and needed to use it up so I made this for church today. I added frozen peas & carrots and they ate it up. They were even licking the spoon clean to get it all. Thanks for a great recipe.
