Q: can I use a Time Machine backup that backed up a 1T computer to start a new Macbook Pro with 128GB ssd?

My 2009 Macbook Pro hard drive died. I bought a new Macbook Pro (13" early 2015 version) My old Macbook had a 1TB drive as well as the Time Machine back up. The problem I see now is that the new Macbook Pro only has a 128GB of flash storage. Is there a way to use an external hard drive and restore the new Mac using the Time machine back up?
