Number Of Ingredients 17
Steps:
- Cook the broccoli rabe in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp tender, about 1 minute. Transfer the broccoli rabe to a large bowl of ice water to cool, saving the cooking water. Bring the reserved cooking water back to a boil.
- Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into pieces with a spoon, until browned and juices form, about 12 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, when the reserved cooking water is boiling, add the orecchiette and cook until al dente, tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.
- Strain the broccoli rabe and add it to the pan with the sausage mixture and toss to coat with the juices. Add the pasta to the skillet. Stir in the Parmesan and serve immediately.
- In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add celery and carrot and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, basil, and bay leaves and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and taste for seasoning. If sauce tastes too acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, to round out the flavor.
- Pour half the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
- If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and then pour 1 to 2 cup portions into plastic freezer bags. Freeze for up to 6 months.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Trim or break off the flowerettes of the broccoli. There should be about five cups. Bring enough water to the boil to cover the broccoli pieces when they are added. Add the broccoli and cook about three minutes or until crisp-tender. Do not overcook. Drain thoroughly.
- Melt two tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. When blended, add the milk, stirring rapidly with the whisk. When thickened and smooth, add the salt, nutmeg and cayenne. Add the cream and remove from the heat. Stir rapidly with the whisk while adding the egg yolks. Stir in the cheese. Set aside.
- Bring the water to the boil in a saucepan and add the salt and fettuccine. When the water returns to the boil, cook to the desired degree of doneness. Fresh fettuccine will cook in about two to three minutes; dried fettuccine may require up to nine minutes or longer. Drain. Return the fettuccine to the cooking utensil and add one tablespoon of butter. Add salt and pepper to taste and toss briefly
- Meanwhile, cut the turkey meat against the grain into thin slices. Spoon the fettuccine into an oval baking dish (a dish measuring about 13 by 10 by 2 1/2 inches is ideal). Scatter the broccoli pieces evenly on top.
- Heat two tablespoons of butter in a skillet and add the meat and garlic. Cook, stirring briefly, just to heat through. Scatter the slices over the broccoli. Spoon the cheese sauce over all. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the sauce. Place in the oven and bake 10 minutes. Run under the broiler until nicely browned on top, about two to three minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right turkey: For the best flavor, select a fresh, free-range turkey. If you're using a frozen turkey, be sure to thaw it properly before cooking.
- Cook the turkey to the correct temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast. This will help prevent the turkey from becoming dry and overcooked.
- Let the turkey rest before carving: Allow the turkey to rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.
- Use fresh, seasonal vegetables: Broccoli, carrots, and celery are all great choices for a turkey stir-fry. Choose vegetables that are fresh and in season to ensure the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, while carrots and celery should be cooked until they are slightly tender but still retain their crunch.
- Add a flavorful sauce: A simple sauce made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil can add a lot of flavor to the stir-fry. You can also add other ingredients to the sauce, such as ginger, garlic, or chili peppers, to taste.
Conclusion:
Turkey and broccoli stir-fry is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a healthy and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious turkey and broccoli stir-fry that will be a hit with the whole family.
