Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon canola oil (be generous here)
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 medium fresh tomato (chopped into a dice) (optional)
• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 cup elbow macaroni, cooked
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 fresh garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon italian seasoning or 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
• 2 cups frozen peas
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper (to taste, we like pepper)
• 1 teaspoon capers (decrease salt to 1/8 teaspoon so not to salty) (optional)
• 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 359 degrees. (Just checking here, you did see that -- right? It's 350 degrees. however, I think if you can get 359 that would be fine too).

2. In a non-stick skillet, place ground turkey and onion and cook for 8-9 minutes until no longer pink. Breaking up meat, and stirring.

3. Drain if necessary.

4. Using a 2 quart casserole dish, add turkey, onion, and rest of ingredients, (except Parmesan Cheese) right into the casserole. Fold in these ingredients until combined. Check for taste.

5. Cover with foil or lid of casserole and bake for approximately 30 minutes.

6. When serving sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top.
