Are you tired of my turkey recipes yet? Well, sorry, but I have one more. With just two of us in the house, a roasted turkey breast goes a long, long way. Not such a bad deal. Turkey freezes well, so we have lunches for the next few weeks.

Turkey and Mushroom Casserole
I’m not a fan of casserole recipes. Typically, they have lots of fat and calories.
This recipe uses fat free mushroom soup, low fat turkey breast, and whole wheat penne pasta; upping the nutrition, and lowering the calories.
With fewer calories, I can add some creamy mozzarella cheese to turn this into a really yummy casserole, perfect for a cool fall evening.
Happy cooking!
