I've been using this recipe for years, but have some changes that I think make it great. Don't use noodles, use spiral pasta, instead of tomato puree I use a good canned or bottled pasta sauce and for the cheese I use mozzarella and also a sprinkle or two of parmesan. If you can't do the ground turkey use extra lean ground beef. Also I add some oregano, basil and garlic powder. Everybody refers to this as lasagna type thing. -
Very good "healthy" comfort food. I did use the no yolk egg noodles, used no butter, and added minced garlic, Italian seasoning and cayenne pepper as others have stated. I also added a splash of worcestershire and used 2% cheese. When I do recipe builder with these changes and the recipe, it comes up to 5 points for 8 serving or 7 points for 6 servings. -
I made it ahead and baked it about 4 hours later. I think I would cook the pasts first next time.

Pure comfort food. I cut the cheese in half, used a little olive oil instead of butter and whole wheat pasta.

I should have read the reviews before making as this was very bland and needed a lot more seasoning. I didn't have turkey so used venison. I also used crushed tomatoes instead of puree as that is what I had. I also didn't use the butter to cook the onions and pepper, I just sprayed the pan with PAM. I used no yoke egg noodles as that is all I buy. With more seasoning, this would be a lot better. We all ate it but agreed it was missing something. -

We liked this. I stuck to the recipe pretty closely. I used reduced fat cheese. I also subbed crushed tomatoes for the puree. I think it would have helped to put the cheese on top towards the end of cooking. It was pretty hard and crusty. Tasty, though. Thanks JackieMarie. -

I am a stay at home mom of three wonderful kids age 12, 10 & 9. We are very busy when it comes to spring time with sports so trying to find quick good dishes is hard. I love to browse this website and find so many interesting recipes. I am a huge fan of finding good deals to decorate our home. Switching things up and moving things around is always a good thing. I would love to learn how to garden. I always have "visions" in my head of what I want something to look like but have no clue how to execute it.
