INSTRUCTIONS

In a large, deep skillet, saute onion, carrots and broccoli stalk in butter with 1/4t salt on med-high, cook until soft 4-5 minutes. Add turkey, remaining salt and seasonings. Break up the turkey and stir together. When the turkey is pretty much cooked, pour in broth and milk, stir to combine. Bring to a simmer then stir in the pasta and broccoli florets. Smush the pasta and broccoli down a bit so its all mostly submerged. Top with a lid and let simmer for about 5 minutes, give it a stir, replace the lid, simmer for another 5 minutes. Repeat 1 more time testing the pasta every few minutes until the pasta is cooked.

Turn off the heat stir in the cheese until smooth, salt to taste and serve.

ENJOY!
