Pepperoni & Ground Turkey Pizza Pasta Bake !

⭐️Overall rating: 5/5:

I love a casserole or baked pasta dish but I’ve really outdone myself tweaking the typical pasta bake recipes I’ve seen. I’m so excited for this to be my first post cause it’s sooooo good.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Oven with working top broilers

🫕Boiler for noodles & a 🥘10” pan for browning the ground turkey

🧫Pyrex dish

🧈Butter spray

🧀2- 8 oz. blocks of low fat Mozzarella cheese (from Aldi)

🍝Box of lasagna noodles of your choice (I bought the boil then bake ones) (from Aldi)

🦃1lb ground turkey (from Aldi)

🥫1 jar of marinara or pasta sauce of your choice (from Aldi)

🍕1 pack of turkey pepperoni (from Aldi)

🧂1 pack of ranch dressing mid (from Aldi)

🧄Garlic powder

🧅Onion powder

🪴Italian seasoning

🌿Oregano (I use dried)

Directions:

⏲️1. Set your oven to preheat at 375 degrees

🍝2. Boil noodles according to directions on the package. (Noodles do not have to be lasagna noodles, can be any noodles of your choice. I like my noodles somewhat firm but definitely done so I cook them a little more than half way before I drain the water to use them in my layers.)

🥘3. In a separate pot , crumble up the ground turkey 🦃 and turn the burner on to medium.

🧄4. Add garlic powder🧄, onion powder🧅, ranch mix packet🧂 , Italian seasoning 🪴, and oregano🌿 into the ground turkey 🦃and stir until browned.

🥫5. Add marinara/ pasta sauce to ground turkey🦃 and stir together.

🧀6. Shred your mozzarella, I used both 8 oz. Blocks but someone who’s watching calories may want to use less.

🧈7. Spray butter around Pyrex dish 🧫 and layer your noodles 🍝 across the bottom in a “quilted” pattern.

🫳🏽8. Sprinkle a thin layer of mozzarella cheese 🧀over the noodles 🍝 and cover with a layer of pepperoni. 🍕

🍝9. Add another layer of noodles🍝 followed by the ground turkey 🦃 and 🥫sauce mixture.

🫳🏽10.Sprinkle a thin layer of cheese and add another layer of pepperoni. 🍕

🥫11. Add the remaining sauce mixture and a layer of noodles

🧀12. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese
