Leftover turkey combines with penne and cheeses to make a classic comfort food. The pasta bake works with chicken, shrimp or beef, too.—Mary Cokenour, Monticello, Utah

Ingredients

8 ounces uncooked penne
1 small onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

Great way to use up leftover turkey after Thanksgiving. It makes a ton of food, though, so you'll be eating it for a while.

the only thing I did differently was instead of using bread crumb topping, I used crushed cornflake topping in place
