Ingredients

• 1 pound Extra lean ground turkey
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 2 cups Low-sodium marinara sauce
• 8 ounces Whole wheat pasta, uncooked
• 3 ounces Turkey pepperoni slices
• 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 1.5 cups Reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess liquid.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked turkey. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the marinara sauce, oregano, and basil. Simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Remove from heat.

Step 5

While the sauce is simmering, cook the whole wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 6

In the prepared casserole dish, layer the cooked pasta evenly on the bottom. Pour the turkey marinara sauce mixture over the pasta and spread evenly.

Step 7

Top the sauce with diced green and red bell peppers, spreading them out evenly across the surface.

Step 8

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

Arrange turkey pepperoni slices on top of the cheese in a decorative pattern (or simply distribute them evenly).

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy this delicious, healthier pizza-inspired casserole!
