Prepare pasta according to package directions, undercooking by three

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Crumble turkey into a large skillet and
place over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until turkey is
cooked through, about 4 minutes. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the
drippings in the pan. Add onion, broccoli, sage and tarragon to the
pan. Cook until vegetables are soft, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes
and heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Boil 3 minutes. Remove
skillet from heat and add chicken broth or water, beans and salt and
pepper to taste. Stir well.
In a large bowl, combine broccoli and turkey mixture with cooked
pasta. Toss well. Transfer mixture into a 1 1/2-quart baking dish.*
In a small bowl, mix bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese and sprinkle
over casserole. Bake until heated through in the center, about 20
minutes.
*At this point, you may halve the mixture and make two casseroles
using two smaller pans. Bake one for now and freeze the other one for
later.

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weightMake sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
The argument against low carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Remember, one fact that is frequently overlooked, it is very hard (although not technically impossible) for vegetarians to take up a reduced carbohydrate diet.
Moreover, it has been hypothesised that the kidneys may become stressed and that the related change in acid levels in the blood can result in bone loss, but some of the medical studies trying to test the theory have failed to find evidence of damage to the kidneys or loss of bone.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, chives and spring onions)
The onion and garlic family of foods is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is not much real proof obtainable, allyl sulphides are also thought to reduce the symptoms of colds, sterilization and fatigue.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are low in calories, so are ideal for including in your weight loss regime.
