Ingredients
  • 1 lb. ground turkey breast
  • 16 oz. spaghetti or linguine (2 boxes of Banza)
  • 1 (24-oz.) jar pasta sauce (or 3 cups homemade marinara sauce)
  • 1 tsp. each: oregano and basil
  • 1 TBSP dried parsley flakes
  • 1 (8-ounce) tub Melanie's Medleys Garlic & Herb Cream Cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease a 9x13” pan and set aside.
  2. Add a little bit of olive oil to a large skillet and turn the heat to medium. Add the ground turkey breast and cook until browned and no longer pink, being sure to break up the chunks as you go.
  3. While the ground meat is cooking, heat a large pot of water and start cooking the pasta.
  4. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it back to the empty pot.
  5. Once meat is cooked, add the spices and all but about ½ - ¾ cup marinara sauce. Stir to combine.
  6. Combine the meat/sauce mixture with the pasta/cream cheese mixture and stir to combine.
  7. Place the reserved ½ - ¾ cup marinara sauce in the bottom of the greased baking dish. Add the pasta/meat mixture on top, spreading it out evenly, and then top with shredded cheese.
  8. Bake (uncovered) for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and top is browned.
