Recipe Catch Up - Week of 8/16 - Turkey & Cheddar Macaroni

We are going on vacation soon, so I am determined to catch up on my "recipe of the week" posts before we do. That way, when I get back, I can share photos and stories from the trip! Not to mention updating the status of my running (it's not good, which is why I don't like to talk about it!)

I got this recipe from the "Grubfest" episode of Paula Deen's show. I love that episode, only in part due to the fact that her sons, Jamie and Bobby are on it. Boy, are they cute! I've had this recipe in my Food Network "recipe box" for quite some time and was reminded of it when the episode ran again. The original recipe calls for beef, but since I don't eat it, I substituted turkey.

Here it is - doesn't it look yummy?

The Verdict
This was really good. Alec liked it a lot! As I said, I substituted turkey for the beef. I also cut the recipe in half, and it was still enough to fill my 9 x 11 casserole, so it was more than plenty of food for the two of us! I ate on it several days for lunch.
