"My family never tires of this versatile entree. We can have it once a week, and it’s different each time! I sometimes omit the turkey for a meatless meal, change up the veggies or use my own tomato sauce.” Mary Lou Moeller - Wooster, Ohio

Pretty quick and easy. I substituted Ragu for the tomato sauce which helped with the liquids and the flavor.

My family was very disappointed in this - sounded like a tasty quick supper but we found it to be pretty bland and way too starchy tasting. Not awful but not good enough to make again.

Very quick meal but needs more spices.

I left off the peppers and mushrooms because I don't like them AT ALL. I love spaghetti sauce made with ground turkey.

The base of the recipe is fine, just needs spices. Oregano, marjoram, thyme, bay leaf, onions and, of course, garlic. Try using some Hot Italian Turkey sausage to 'spice it up'.

This is a wonderful recipe. I have always cooked this for about 30 minutes though, depends on how thick the spagetti pasta is. Turkey, ground beef, even sausage are all good with this. I usually need to double the recipe.

Made this recipe when short on time and looking for something tasty. Turned out great! I love that you can cook the spaghetti in the same pot- saves time and dishes! I would let the spaghetti simmer in the sauce a little longer before serving, though.. it was still a little stiff. Great recipe!
