This yummy casserole includes canned tomato sauce for quick and easy preparation. When buying tomato sauce, check the % Daily Value (DV) on the nutrition label – 5% is a little bit and 15% is a lot. Look for sauces that have less than 15% sodium.

 500 g ground turkey or lean ground beef
 ½ cup mini pepperoni, sliced and divided
 1 can tomato sauce (15 oz)
 ½ tsp dried oregano

1

Preheat oven to broil.

2

Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in ¼ cup pepperoni and heated for about 1 minute.

3

Stir in tomato sauce, oregano, basil, garlic powder, pasta and 1 ½ cups water; season with salt and pepper.

4

Bring mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until pasta is cooked through, about 12-14 minutes.

5

Remove from heat; top with mozzarella and remaining ¼ cup pepperoni. Place into oven and broil until the cheese is melted and golden brown, about 2 minutes.

6

Serve immediately.

Tips for quick prep

Don’t have an ovenproof skillet? Once your pasta is cooked in your pot, just transfer the pasta mixture to an oven safe baking dish to broil.
