Like a turkey pot pie blending flavors with a creamy sauce mixed with noodles. Roasting the turkey gives it a rich flavor that extents itself throughout this dish. The sauce is a well balanced creamy sauce with a hint of cheese and a dash of wine.
Low in sodium and Low in Cholesterol give this flavor profile a comfort all it’s own. The average turkey dish with pasta starts out at over 700 mg’s of sodium and climbs from there depending on ingredients. Our delight is 283 mg’s of sodium and of course, a satisfying tasty pasta dinner.
