  1. I made this last night, as I had all the ingredients avaiklable. I prepped everything, put the chopped up turkey back into the fridge, and forgot to add it in at the end! We devoured the pasta and never missed the turkey, so it makes a really good vegetarian meal without it. I'll be making this again, always looking for good uses for kale. Loved the salty olives combined with the greens, goat cheese, and lemon. We had a marinated tomato and cucumber salad on the side.
