How to Make 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.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Heat oil in a medium=size nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey, onion and garlic. Sauté 3 minutes, turning turkey pieces to brown all sides. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Add the pasta sauce, water, mushrooms and linguine. Stir to mix well. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium, cover with a lid, and cook 3 minutes. The linguine should be cooked through. Add a little water if sauce is dry before pasta is cooked.
- Add spinach and basil, stirring until spinach wilts. Remove from the heat and sprinkle the cheese on top. Spoon sour cream over cheese. Serve on 2 dinner plates.
- Cook’s Tip: It’s important to use fresh pasta from the supermarket for this recipe. Fettuccine can be used instead of linguine.
