I need a dinner

[lilyrose]

You guys have helped me once before, so I'm hoping you can help again. I've got a few leftover items I'd like to make for dinner. There is about:

1 cup peas
1 cup brocolli
1/3 lb turkey
1/2 cup spagetti sauce

I'm racking my brain here on what to do.

What about a casserole or a stew?

Maybe make up some rice, mix all together maybe top with some cheese

stew - put all in crock pot - all ingredients listed, cup or so of water, add some noodles or rice maybe some boullion cubes or seasonings to taste.

just what I would do.....I kind of throw things together.....

Make small turkey meatballs and serve over pasta with the vegs, maybe in a light cream sauce or herbs and oil, sort of like a pasta primavera.

Cook the turkey, crumble it and mix with sauce and chopped vegs to make a filling for calzones. Add cheese if you have it.

Turkey and veg fried rice?

what about some kind of pasta salad.. i just did a pasta, shrimp. with mayo, lemon juice, lemon pepper and a bit of milk...and it is getting cold now.. i bet you could do some kind of lowmein tasting cold salad..

[dinah]

i would just heat the turkey and serve with spaghetti with sauce and have a little salad with peas (cold) and brocoli and whatever else veggies you have on hand.

I'd make a turkey meat sauce and serve with pasta with a side of veggies or add them into the sauce.

Do you have any cheese? I'd make a stuffed turkey florentine and top it wiht the sauce.

Combine the cheese and veggies and stuff it into the center of the turkey. Bake and then top with the sauce.

I would cook it up and add a can of chicken broth for a soup. Would go nicely with some grilled cheese sandwiches.

shoiji - you hit it on the head. I liked everyone else's ideas, but nothing seemed like what I wanted to tackle tonight.

Your post reminded me that I have some homemade turkey broth in the freezer that I want to defrost this summer. It'll be perfect. I even have some bisquick I want to use up that I can make dumplings/rolls.

Thanks everyone for such wonderful ideas!!!

[lilyrose]

Just to clarify it's the freezer I want to defrost this summer. Need to use up some freezer stuff, so I can defrost it.

[ladykemma2]

i would make a broccoli cheese rice casserole with the turkey and peas in it.

no tomato sauce.

Hope you had a good dinner!

[lilyrose]

It was really good. I especially enjoyed what the little bit of spagetti sauce did to the flavor or the broth. Yum.
