Fusilli and Turkey

1 TBS olive oil 5 cloves garlic, peeled and cut into slivers 2 red bell peppers, seeded and julienned 1/2 to 1 tsp. hot red pepper flakes 2 cups leftover cooked turkey, cut into thin strips 1-1/2 cups turkey or chicken stock, warmed salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 12 oz. tri-color fusilli (tri-colored pasta) 2 bunches (about 2 lbs.) broccoli rabe, stems discarded and leaves cut into 2" to 3" pieces freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional) Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the garlic, red pepper and hot red pepper flakes until the vegetables are starting to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the turkey and the warmed broth and continue cooking until all is heated through, about 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste, cover and keep warm over low heat. Cook the pasta in the boiling water for about 7 minutes; stir in the broccoli rabe leaves and cook for 2 minutes moe. Drain the fusilli and greens and transfer to a serving bowl.
