Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1/2 small yellow onion sliced
  • 1 (4 oz) package sliced mushrooms
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • teaspoon  dried oregano
  • teaspoon  dried thyme
  • salt to taste
  • 1 pound leftover Jennie O OVEN READY™ Cajun Bone-in Turkey Breast diced
  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • (16 oz box)  linguine broken in half
  • 1/2 cup sour cream plus more for topping
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan
  • Cilantro for topping

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium heat.
  • Once melted, add in bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, and spices: paprika through salt.
  • Saute together for about 3-5 minutes, or until veggies are crisp tender. They’ll continue cooking in the pasta, so don’t overcook.
  • Add in turkey, broth, and linguine.
  • Raise heat to high, bring to a simmer, and simmer for 8-12 minutes, or until pasta is tender. Stir regularly to prevent sticking.
  • You may need to lower heat to keep it at a simmer.
  • Once the pasta is tender, stir in sour cream and parmesan.
  • Taste and re-season, if necessary.
  • Serve with chopped cilantro and more sour cream!
