Left Over Turkey Pasta is a superb way to prevent waste. It is full of flavour and very simple to make. While I use Lasagna sheets, other pasta types work well especially rigatoni. Including red chillies in this recipe provides both colour and a little heat. Serve as a main dish this works well for lunch and dinner. Leftover turkey has many uses and not just for a traditional roast meal.
