Turkey, Ham and Swiss Casserole

8 ounces Gluten-Free Pasta

3 tablespoons butter

3/4 cup chopped onion

3/4 cup chopped celery

1 cup diced ham

3 tablespoons Grandma Farmer's Gluten-Free flour blend

2 1/2 cups milk

1/2 teaspoon dried leaf marjoram or thyme

1 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 cups shredded Swiss cheese

2 cups diced turkey

1 cup frozen peas and carrots, optional

 

Heat oven to 350°. Grease a 2-quart baking dish.

Cook pasta in boiling salted water following package directions. Drain and rinse; set aside Heat butter in a large skillet and saute the onion and celery over medium-low heat until softened. Add ham and stir in flour until well combined. Gradually stir in the milk until thickened. Add marjoram, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cheese, turkey, and peas and carrots, if using. Add the cooked pasta and blend thoroughly. Spoon the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish. **NOTE**  We will cook half of this and the other half will be placed in a zipper bag and frozen for another meal.  Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until bubbly and topping is browned.
