Turkey Primavera

TURKEY PRIMAVERA

2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
1/4 tsp. garlic powder or 1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups broccoli florets
2 medium carrots, sliced (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup green or red pepper cut into 2-inch long strips
1 small onion, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
2 cups cubed cooked turkey or chicken
1/2 of a 1-lb. package spaghetti, cooked without salt and drained
2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

Stir the cornstarch and 1/4 cup broth in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth. Heat the remaining broth, garlic powder, broccoli, carrots, pepper and onion in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Stir in the cornstarch mixture. Cook and stir until the mixture boils and thickens. Stir in the turkey and cook until the mixture is hot and bubbling. Add the spaghetti and cheese and toss to coat. (Time-Saving: You can use 3 cans (4.5 oz. each) white chunk chicken breast in water, drained, for the turkey in this recipe.) Makes 4 servings (about 2 cups each).
