- Leftovers! This is a fantastic way to use your leftover turkey from your Thanksgiving, Christmas or other holiday dinner! Don’t worry, you will still have leftover turkey for sandwiches, but use some to make this turkey pasta!
- This turkey pasta is easy to make! It bakes in less than 15 minutes.

- I often use the “scraps of dry pasta” left in the boxes. You know when you measure out the pasta for a meal and then it ends up leaving not quite enough in the box for next time? Or just me? I love the mix of textures the different types of pasta provides!
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR TURKEY PASTA
- Frozen or Fresh Vegetables – You decide. I often use frozen, but if you have left over veggies from you dinner throw those in too! You decide frozen or fresh and what types go in there! Make this your own!
- Pasta types – I like to use a mix of many types of pasta, I feel it gives it a great texture. But you do you, use your favorite type of pasta or a mix! Do NOT over cook the pasta. I generally stop the cooking just before what I consider “done” that gives it a little more room to cook while its baking!
- Gluten Free – If you want to make this gluten-free, use a GF pasta and also GF pankos.
- Dairy free or vegan – if you need to adjust this turkey pasta to be dairy free or vegan, you can sub in DF cheddar and parm. It’s a simple switch.
- Easy to reheat – just reheat in the microwave, oven or air fryer! Yes, I said air fryer! Put it into an oven safe dish that fits into your air fryer and heat! Easy peasy!
