Turkey Goulash

If you're wondering why so many of these recipes call for ground turkey breast it's because 3 to 4 ounces of it contain just a trace of fat, yet it's packed with protein.

Serves: 6

Cooking Time: 45 min

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground turkey breast
• 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 (28 ounce) jar light spaghetti sauce
• 8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
    
2. In a large skillet, brown ground turkey with bell pepper and onion over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes, or until no pink remains in turkey. Drain excess liquid.
    
3. Add remaining ingredients except cheese and stir to mix well.
    
4. Place mixture in a 2-1/2-quart casserole dish that has been coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake 25 minutes.
    
5. Remove from oven and top with cheese. Return to oven and bake, uncovered, an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until thoroughly heated and cheese is melted.
