How To Make Meaty Pasta Dinner

This incredibly tasty pasta dish makes use of turkey meat as its protein base. Turkey pan sausage, along with ground turkey meat, is cooked in a skillet then added to the tomato sauce. Ultimately, it is topped onto a bed of vermicelli noodles then finished off with a generous amount of cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1 roll turkey pan sausage
  • 1 lb turkey ground , or beef
  • 1 pkg cheese, shredded
