A tasty and creamy one pot turkey pasta that is simple yet hits all the right spots.

- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1 Small Onion diced

- Add the minced garlic and cook another 2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the turkey, chicken broth, milk, mustard powder and cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil.
- Add the pasta and give a good stir. Push down on the pasta to make sure it's all covered with the broth. Cover and turn down the heat to a simmer.
- Simmer for 10-12 minutes, without lifting the lid.

- Add the grated cheese to the pot and stir well to combine and melt.
Notes
I used leftover turkey from Thanksgiving in this recipe, but you could just as easily brown 1lb of ground turkey and use that instead.
