From TOH Dec/Jan 2008 issue. I plan to try this with leftover turkey after Thanksgiving. I will probably add more turkey to this. The recipe says you can also add a can of rinsed and drained garbanzo or kidney beans.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 celery rib, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
4 cups turkey stock (or chicken stock)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
2/3 cup frozen peas
2/3 cup frozen corn
2/3 cup frozen cut green beans
1/2 cup elbow macaroni, uncooked
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf
1 cup cubed cooked turkey
1 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven; add onion, carrot, celery and garlic and saute until tender.
2. Add broth, vegetables, macaroni, and seasonings and bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes.
4. Add turkey and zucchini; cook until zucchini is crisp-tender.
5. Discard bay leaf and serve with Parmesan cheese.
