Turkey and Cranberry Radiatore with Pumpkin Sauce Recipe
I was going through my recipes this week and came across this one. No current picture because it's been a while since the last time I made it. Decided to substitute a picture of a Thanksgiving bird instead.
This a good recipe containing turkey, pumpkin and cranberries you can use for dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. You can easily replace it with chicken or pork if you like.
