Feel like recipes? Here's a few I use!

Busy Day Casserole

1lbs of ground turkey
1 small onion
10oz of wheat paste (fusilli or corkscrew work best)
1 jar of spaghetti sauce
12oz sour cream
6oz fat free cottage cheese
grated mozzarella
grated Parmesan
Parsley

Brown the ground turkey with the small onion chopped, until fully cooked, drain and stir in pasta sauce.  Bring water in a stock pot to a boil and cook pasta as directed.  Preheat oven to 350.  Once pasta is cooked, rinse and put in large bowl.  Add sour cream and cottage cheese to the pasta, mix in about a tablespoon of parsley.  In a 10X13 baking pan,  layer meat/sauce mixture with the pasta mixture, sprinkling in the Parmesan cheese.  Once you've made the final layer, cover with grated mozzarella cheese and bake until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.
