Step 1
Preheat oven to 350° convection or 375° conventional. Coat a 9 by 13 baking dish with PAM of butter.
Step 2
Cook 1 pound of pasta to al dente per package instructions—use Linguine or spaghetti. Cube about 4 cups of leftover turkey.
Step 3
Dice 1 small onion, crush four cloves garlic, dice two stalks celery.
Step 4
Melt one stick butter (1/2 cup) over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and mushrooms if using. Cook about 3-4 minutes until the celery is clearing. Add the four cloves of crushed garlic, and cook one more minute. Add one teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

Add 1/2 cup flour by sprinkling over the pan. Stir until browning some about 2 minutes.
