Turkey and noodles is another way to extend a holiday feast. Or use packaged and frozen leftovers at a later date. A spaghetti like dish can be made with turkey and noodles. Go lighter on the spices and allow the turkey flavor to shine through. For the gluten free version, the best noodles are the spirals, or similar sized and shaped noodles. Vary the taste and texture by adding cream of mushroom soup with peas and carrots. A simple meal that can be prepared and carried in hot food containers while traveling. Best next day, after marinating in the juices.
