TURKEY BOW-TIE CASSEROLE



Turkey Bow-Tie Casserole image

A super easy, yummy, kid-friendly pasta casserole. My little sister and I were making lunch when we made up this casserole. She doesn't like hamburger, but she is a huge pasta and turkey fan. It goes together really quickly if one person makes the turkey part and another person makes the noodle part. Refrigerate leftovers.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of colorful vegetables to make your salad more visually appealing. Some good options include bell peppers, carrots, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
  • Cook the bowtie pasta al dente so that it still has a slight bite to it. This will help it to hold its shape and not become mushy.
  • Use a flavorful dressing that will complement the other ingredients in the salad. A simple vinaigrette or a creamy dressing made with mayonnaise or Greek yogurt are both good options.
  • Add some protein to the salad to make it a more complete meal. Grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu are all good options.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Turkey bowtie pasta salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It is also a great way to use up leftover turkey from a holiday meal. With its colorful vegetables, flavorful dressing, and protein-packed turkey, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
