– 1 teaspoon dried oregano – 1 teaspoon dried basil – Salt and pepper to taste – 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese – 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese – 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese – Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions: Preheat oven: Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or spray. Rotini pasta should be cooked al dente in a big pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain and reserve pasta.
Prepare the Turkey Mixture: Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium. Break ground turkey apart with a spoon as it browns. Cook diced onion and minced garlic in the skillet for 3–4 minutes until softened and aromatic. Diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper should be stirred in. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes to blend flavors.
Stir Pasta and Turkey Mixture: Stir cooked rotini pasta and turkey mixture in the baking dish until well incorporated. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheese evenly over the spaghetti and turkey mixture.
Bake: Bake the dish for 20 minutes in the preheated oven covered with aluminum foil. Take off the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the edges are golden brown. Serve: Let the Three Cheese Turkey Rotini Bake cool for a few minutes after baking. If desired, add chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
Additional Options: Add diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach to the turkey combination for flavor and nutrition. Dried herbs like thyme or rosemary can be added to modify the seasoning. For a creamier sauce, combine cream cheese or ricotta cheese with the turkey mixture before baking.
