"Turkey and tomatoes are high on my list of favorite foods," writes Carol Brunelle of Ascutney, Vermont. "My husband grows the best tomatoes ever...and I made up this recipe to complement both ingredients. It's wonderful anytime of year, but I prefer to make it when the tomatoes, green peppers, basil and garlic are all fresh from our garden."

Seeding TomatoesSummer is the perfect time of year to enjoy fresh juicy tomatoes in all types of recipes. It's usually not necessary to remove the seeds from tomatoes before using. But for some recipes, seeding the tomatoes can improve the dish's appearance or eliminate excess moisture. For example, it's not important to seed tomatoes when preparing a tossed salad. But it's nice to remove the seeds when making creamy tomato soup to ensure a smooth texture. And using seeded tomatoes when assembling a casserole can prevent it from becoming watery. To remove the seeds from a tomato, cut it in half horizontally and remove the stem. Holding a tomato half over a bowl or sink, scrape out seeds with a small spoon or squeeze the tomato to force out the seeds. Then slice or dice as directed in the recipe.

This was a great recipe, however, 10 minutes of prep time is not accurate. In order to seed and chop 8 large tomatoes takes a LOT longer than 10 minutes, plus everything else (including cooking the turkey and pasta!) But, it's worth it. I added some corn, carrots, canned whole tomatoes, garlic salt, table salt, two extra garlic cloves and an additional can of chicken broth. I do not have a Dutch Oven, so I simmered everything in a soup pot for about 45 minutes, while cooking the turkey and pasta ahead of time and added them after 45 minutes of simmer time. I simmered for another 15 minutes and it was done! Delicous!
