ITALIAN (TURKEY) SAUSAGE PASTA CASSEROLE



Italian (Turkey) Sausage Pasta Casserole image

Just a little something I threw together one night when I had a craving for something Italian, but healthy. This recipe makes a healthy portion, but its just as good the next day! You can increase the tomatoes, zucchini and beans if you don't want the turkey, or just to have more vegetables. Its easy to adjust as you want.
