This was sooo excellent! I put the recipe in the hands of my non-cooking hubby, and it came out fantastic! We used 1/2 lb veggie crumbles instead of turkey, 2 tsp oregano, and pecorino romano for parmesan, and I swear, this tasted like a super-delicious baked ziti! Very easy to prepare, and very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing!
