Did we mention how much we like pasta dishes yet? I didn't think so. Here is a great way to use left-over turkey or chicken.
 
Ingredients
  1 1/2  lb ripe but firm plum tomatoes. quartered  
  6  tbsp olive oil  
  1  tsp dried oregano  
  12  oz broccoli florets  
  1  small onion, sliced  
  1  tsp dried thyme  
  1  lb turkey fillets, cubed  
  3   cloves garlic, finely chopped  
  1  tbsp fresh lemon juice  
  12  oz dried pasta twists  
    salt and black pepper  
 
Instructions
 
  1. Preheat oven to 200 ° C/400 ° F. Place the tomatoes in a baking dish. Drizzle over 1 Tbsp of the oil, scatter over the oregano and season with salt.

 
  2. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the tomatoes are just browned.

 
  3. Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to boil. Add the broccoli and cook for about 5 minutes, until just tender. Drain the broccoli and set aside. Alternatively, steam the broccoli until tender.

 
  4. Heat 2 Tbsp of the remaining oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the onion, thyme, turkey and salt, to taste. Cook over a high heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the meat is cooked and beginning to brown. Add the garlic and cook for a further 1 minute, stirring frequently.

 
  5. Remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice and season with pepper. Set aside and keep warm.

 
  6. Bring another large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook for 10-12 minutes, until just tender. Drain and place in a lsrge serving bowl. Toss the pasta with the remaining oil.

 
  7. Add the broccoli to the turkey mixture and toss into the pasta. Peel the tomatoes and stir gently into the pasta mixture. Serve immediately.
