Spicy Turkey Pasta

This is not much of a recipe really, but it is something I made recently after starting Weight Watchers.

1/2 chopped onion
1 tsp. minced garlic(to taste)
1 lb. extra lean white ground turkey
1 jar Classico Spicy Tomato and Basil Spaghetti Sauce
1 can diced Italian style tomatoes
dashes of oregano and basil
1-2 bay leaves
Whole Wheat Penne or Spaghetti

Saute chopped onion and garlic, add ground turkey and cook until done. Stir in sauces, add dashes of oregano and basil, add bay leaves. Cover and simmer 20-30 minutes. Cook pasta according to directions. Serves 4.

I was wary of cooking with ground turkey, but I must admit I ended up LOVING this simple dish. Annelise (age 4) gobbled it up too and Scott ate several helpings. So, a hit all around.

Weight Watchers points: approx. 7-8
