Onion, chopped 1/2 cup 1 cup
Garlic 1/2 clove 1 clove
Turkey, cooked, cubed 2 cups + 2 Tbsp 4 & 1/4 cups
Water 1 & 1/2 cups 3 cups
Milk, 1% (low-fat) 3/4 cup 1 & 1/2 cups
Cream of mushroom soup 1/2 can (10.75 oz can) 1 can (10.75 oz can)
Peas, frozen 5 oz 10 oz
Carrots, grated 3/4 cup 1 & 1/2 cups
Elbow macaroni, dry 1 cup 2 cups
Black pepper 1/4 tsp 1/2 tsp
Corn flakes 3/4 cup 1 & 1/2 cups
Garlic powder 1/8 tsp 1/4 tsp

Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat and saute onions until transparent.


Add garlic and cook briefly, about 30 seconds.


Add turkey, water, milk, soup, carrots and peas. Bring to a boil.



Add macaroni and pepper. Stir to combine.


Cover pan, reduce heat to low and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.

While mixture is cooking, crush corn flakes in small bowl, mix in garlic powder.


Place 3/4 cup serving on plate and top with corn flakes.
  
We served Macaroni Mess with broccoli and milk for a balanced meal.


Food for Thought: This dish has protein-rich turkey as well as vegetables for good nutrition. To make it even healthier, use whole grain macaroni.
