Turkey Skillet Casserole

With this hearty dish, the pasta cooks right in the sauce for a quick and easy one-pot meal. Turkey, mushrooms, and spinach give it a light touch. Instead of fresh turkey, you could use leftover turkey from a Thanksgiving feast! For a lower-carb version, use zucchini noodles instead of linguini.

Absolutely amazing! The sauce was perfect. Used chicken and alfredo sauce. I will definitely put the recipe in the rotation.

Delicious! The basil, sauce, and cheese are an amazing flavor combo. Wasn't able to locate fresh pasta, but tasted great anyway.
