Turkey Spaghetti

When we went to visit our friends Bernard and Elizabeth with their new 2-week-old baby, we brought them this spaghetti for lunch.  It's an easy meal that we do very often when we need to make a quick dinner.  I never took pictures of it before today, but decided today was a good day to add it to the blog.

1 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
8 oz mushrooms, chopped
1 lb ground turkey
1 16-oz jar marinara sauce
Oregano to taste
Cayenne pepper to taste
Red pepper flakes

In a large saucepan, heat olive oil and saute onion until it begins to soften.  Add oregano and cayenne pepper.  Add the ground turkey, crumble and stir until pink flavor begins to disappear. Add bell pepper and mushrooms and cook until they soften.  Add marinara sauce and bring to a boil.  Add pepper to taste.

Serve with 1 lb of pasta and parmesan cheese.
