FELIX'S GROUND TURKEY AND ROTINI CASSEROLE

Felix's Ground Turkey and Rotini Casserole image

This can easily be adapted to whatever you happen to have in the house, since that's how I made it up tonight for dinner. I'm sure it would also work with ground beef (omit the olive oil). Most people will probably have to add some salt, but we've been on a low sodium diet for so long that what came in the canned goods was more than plenty for us. You could easily spice this up by using your favourite hot sauce or some Cajun seasoning in place of the chili powder (or in addition to it).
