Ground Turkey Pasta Bake


I'm at my son and daughter in law's home for a few days to help out with the newest addition to the family.  Yesterday, I went through the freezer, fridge and the pantry and came up with this delicious comfort food meal for our dinner.

1 pound ground turkey
16 oz. elbow macaroni noodles
32 oz. or 45 oz jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce 
2 cups Italian blend cheese, divided
3 T. Italian bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Brown turkey in a medium skillet over medium heat.  While turkey is browning, cook noodles according to package directions.

In a large bowl, combine noodles and sauce.  Spray a 13 x 9 casserole dish with nonstick spray.

Layer half the sauce/noodles.  Spread the cooked turkey over the noodles and then add half the cheese over the turkey.

Top with remaining sauce/noodles.  Bake for 30 - 35 minutes until bubbly.

Remove from oven and add remaining cheese and sprinkle with bread crumbs.  Return to oven for about 5 minutes until cheese melts.
