β€œThank you for this recipe. I was looking for a pasta dish with turkey when I came across your recipe. I made it tonight. Not only was it quick to assemble (very important for a weekday dinner) but my husband and I really liked it.” β€” a cook
β€œIt was really good and really easy. Much appreciated after 5 hours in the kitchen on thanksgiving! We usually don't like to eat leftover turkey because of the taste but this hid it well. Will keep it for chicken or bacon next.” β€” a cook
