Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey sausage
  • 1 green bell pepper diced small
  • 1/2 yellow onion diced small
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup turkey pepperoni uncured, sulfate-free, cut into half moons
  • 24 ounces marinara sauce jar, no sugar added
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 pound whole-wheat pasta dry, uncooked (such as penne, rigatoni, or macaroni)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese fat-free, shredded
  • 1/4 cup basil fresh, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven broiler to high. In a large oven-safe skillet on medium heat, cook the turkey sausage breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. When the sausage is about halfway cooked, add the bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Continue to cook until the sausage is cooked through and onions are translucent. Drain off any excess liquid.
  • Stir in half the pepperoni, marinara, and water. Bring to a boil and add the pasta. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed and the pasta is tender. Stir in half the mozzarella cheese. Top the pasta with the remaining mozzarella and pepperoni. Place uncovered in the broiler and cook for about 5-8 minutes or until the cheese begins to brown and pepperoni is crisp. Remove from the oven and top with basil. Serve hot.
