How to Make Creamy Leftover Turkey Pasta:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. When hot, add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes. 
  2. Then add the garlic, paprika, and pepper. Sauté for a minute. 
  3. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for a further couple of minutes.
  4. Add in the leftover Turkey pieces. 
  5. Then add the pasta and pour in the stock. Mix to combine. Then bring the mixture to a boil. Once it has come to a boil, turn down the heat to low.
  6. Stir in the cream cheese, and then let the pasta cook for 12 minutes. You can pop the lid on but give it a stir halfway to stop anything sticking.
  7. Finally, add the chopped spinach, parsley, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir to combine and then pop the lid back on for another 2 minutes.
  8. Serve topped with Parmesan cheese.
