Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2
Cook pasta according to the directions on the box.
Step 3
While the pasta is cooking, crumble the ground turkey into a pan and cook on medium heat until it's no longer pink.
Step 4
Add onion and garlic, cook for 3 minutes.
Step 5
Add mushrooms, cook for another 3 minutes.
Step 6
Now lower heat to low, add the sauce and basil, stir, and cover. Cook an additional 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally if you see the sauce start to bubble, otherwise keep it covered.
Step 7
In a 9x13 glass baking dish (sprayed generously with cooking spray), pour in half the pasta, then all of your sauce and meat mix. Stir to mix, and then add the rest of the pasta and stir some more.
Step 8
Once you feel like it's all adequately combined, top with the cheese, cover with foil, and pop it in the oven for 15 minutes on the top rack. For the last 5 minutes, uncover and broil (on low, if you have a setting for it) to brown the cheese on top.
Step 9
Remove carefully, grab a serving spoon and dish it out. Enjoy!
