Turkey Fettuccine Skillet
Calories
Ingredients
- 8 ounces uncooked fettuccine
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup chopped celery
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 2 cups fat-free milk
- 1 teaspoon salt-free seasoning blend like Mrs. Dash
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ cup fat-free half-and-half
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups cubed cooked turkey breast or chicken
- ¾ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1-2 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Cook fettuccine according to package directions.
- While the pasta cooks, saute the onion, celery and garlic in 1/4 cup water for 3 minutes in a large oven-proof skillet. Add mushrooms; cook and stir until vegetables are tender. If need, add a little more water to the pan while you cook the vegetables. The water eliminates the need for cooking in oil.
- Add the milk, seasoning blend and salt. Bring to a boil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and half-and-half until smooth; stir into skillet. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Stir in Parmesan cheese just until melted.
- Stir in turkey. Drain fettuccine; add to turkey mixture. Heat through.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Broil for 2-3 minutes on the middle rack or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve. Yield: 6 servings.
