Notes
I didn’t do this in ‘1 pan’ because I didn’t have any veggies that needed longer cooking in the sauce. Cooking the pasta and turkey / sauce at the same time was faster.
Substitute sour cream or plain yogurt for the Greek yogurt.
Substitute 1 – 2 tsp of your favorite dried herb for the fresh sage.
