Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon canola oil (be generous here)
-
1 lb ground turkey
-
1 small onion, chopped
-
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
-
1 cup elbow macaroni, cooked
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 fresh garlic clove, minced
-
1 teaspoon italian seasoning or 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
-
2 cups frozen peas
-
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste)
-
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper (to taste, we like pepper)
-
1 teaspoon capers (decrease salt to 1/8 teaspoon so not to salty)
-
1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese
-
1 medium fresh tomato (chopped into a dice)
Instructions
- 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.
