Siggy’s Skinny They Won’t Know it’s not Beef Mac

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Cook the macaroni to al dente and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat 2 Tablespoons of olive oil then season and brown the ground turkey. Drain meat and set aside. Add remaining 2 Tablespoons of olive oil to skillet, add the peppers and onion, saute until soft. Add garlic and cook just until it becomes fragrant. Do not allow garlic to burn. Bleck! Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and cheese soup. Stir to combine. Add basil, oregano, and cumin and allow to simmer over medium low heat for a few minutes allowing flavors to meld together. At this point, give it a taste and add your salt and pepper until right for you.

In a LARGE bowl (I said it makes a ton, right?) combine the macaroni and the turkey sauce mixture. Stir to combine and pat yourself on the back for getting your arm workout in for the day (remember the aforementioned, makes a TON).

Spread this mixture into 2 casserole dishes or, as I do, a 9×13 pan and a 8×8 pan. Top with cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly browned and bubbly. Once this bad boy is done baking, if you can still use your arms from stirring this mammoth amount of food, pour yourself a glass of wine and enjoy!
