Instructions

step 1

Prepare the ingredients & make the base

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the tomatoes. In the tray, combine the pasta, tomatoes, worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, mirepoix, tomato sauce, 1 cup of water, and as much of the chile paste as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper; stir to thoroughly combine.

step 2

Add the turkey & bake the tray

Add the turkey (tearing into bite-sized pieces before adding) in an even layer. Season with salt and pepper. Tightly cover the tray with foil and bake 38 minutes. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven. Carefully remove the foil. Stir to thoroughly combine.

step 3

Add the mozzarella & serve your dish

Evenly top with the cheese (tearing into bite-sized pieces before adding). Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the pasta is tender, and the turkey is cooked through. Remove from the oven. Enjoy!
