This super easy macaroni casserole is a baked pasta dish with ground turkey, veggies, marinara sauce and cheese. Kid-friendly and no need to pre-cook the pasta!
In a large deep non-stick skillet, brown the ground turkey over high heat until cooked through, seasoning with a pinch of salt and breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks.
Set aside on a dish.
Add olive oil to the skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the onion, red pepper, celery and carrots; sauté until the vegetables soft, about 6 to 7 minutes.
Return the turkey to the skillet along with the remaining ingredients except for the pasta and cheese.
Bring to a boil and then lower heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes.
While simmering, heat oven to 350°F.
Spoon just enough of the turkey/vegetable mixture to cover the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
Cover with uncooked pasta.
Spoon remaining sauce mixture evenly over the top and sprinkle with cheese.
Cover with foil and bake 50-55 minutes.
Remove from oven and let stand, covered, for 15 minutes.
