Ingredients

12 ounces whole-wheat penne

1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
14 ounces lean (7% fat) ground turkey

Preparation

Raise heat to medium and add turkey; cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in marinara, reduce heat and stir occasionally, until sauce comes to a low simmer, about 6 minutes.
