Turkey Bake With Whole Wheat Pasta Food

TURKEY BAKE WITH WHOLE WHEAT PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Stir the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl; set aside on counter to allow to come to room temperature.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil; cook the penne in the boiling water until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• While the pasta cooks, place a skillet over medium heat. Crumble the turkey into the skillet; cook and stir until the turkey is completely browned. Drain and add to the pasta.
• Spread 2 tablespoons of the spaghetti sauce into the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish; stir the rest of the spaghetti sauce into the pasta and turkey mixture. Spoon about half of the pasta mixture into the baking dish; top with the cheese mixture and spread into an even layer. Spread the remaining pasta mixture over the cheese layer. Cover with aluminum foil if desired.
• Bake in the preheated oven until slightly brown on top, about 30 minutes.

TURKEY PASTA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 359 degrees. (Just checking here, you did see that -- right? It's 350 degrees. however, I think if you can get 359 that would be fine too).
• In a non-stick skillet, place ground turkey and onion and cook for 8-9 minutes until no longer pink. Breaking up meat, and stirring.
• Drain if necessary.
• Using a 2 quart casserole dish, add turkey, onion, and rest of ingredients, (except Parmesan Cheese) right into the casserole. Fold in these ingredients until combined. Check for taste.
• Cover with foil or lid of casserole and bake for approximately 30 minutes.
• When serving sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top.
