1/2 lbs of 93 % lean ground turkey

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350F.
Cook the noodles until al-dente. While pasta is cooking, brown the ground turkey. Drain turkey of any excess fat renderings after cooking (since I used 93 % lean meat, I didn't have to drain). In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, pasta sauce, honey, seasonings, cooked ground turkey, and the cooked and drained noodles. Stir until well combined.
Pour mixture into a pan or casserole dish. Sprinkle cheese on top.
Bake at 350F for 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
