Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 pinch garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning blend
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.75 cup ketchup, or to taste
• 0.75 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.75 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground turkey in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3

Reduce heat to low and add ketchup, brown sugar, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt. Let simmer for 1 to 2 minutes; remove from heat and cover.

Step 4

Drain cooked pasta and pour into a medium casserole dish. Stir in mozzarella cheese, Cheddar cheese, and poppy seeds. Spread turkey mixture on top and serve.
