This is a modification of another SparkPerson's recipe. That recipe uses only hamburger, white pasta, and canned soup. This one substitutes ground turkey, whole wheat elbows, and tomato sauce respectively, and adds corn and diced tomatoes... on the whole, I think, a bit healthier and certainly lower in sodium. Plus the V8 and vegetables add vitamins and flavor missing from the "vanilla" version.

It's a very quick dinner for when your pantry's empty and you have short notice for dinner.

While the name comes from a humorous article by Patrick F. McManus, a columnist for Field and Stream Magazine, the recipe itself is all mine. I call it this because it has so many ingredients, and it makes so much more than you need for one meal. See the tips for more information.

Adding 1.5 pounds of stir-fried chicken, chopped broccoli, and carrots to the contents of the box makes the meal far healthier than just the box contents... and it's ready quickly.

This is about as simple as you can get. Take a package of chicken tenders, a bottle of your favorite tomato sauce, two ounces of Parmesan cheese, and half a box of whole wheat pasta. Voila, reasonably health chicken parmesan (except for the sodium, which surprised me, but you can cut that 'way back by using homemade sauce.

Doctoring up a standard bottle of spaghetti sauce with extra tomatoes, spices, and cheese.

Pasta note: use a heavier pasta such as shells, rotini, or penne because the sauce is thick. Spaghetti also works, but angel hair (vermicelli) won't work; it'll turn gooey.

An easy crockpot or stovetop soup; just brown the ground turkey and add it to water and the other ingredients. Simmer an hour, or cook in crockpot on low for eight hours.

This is a healthy soup, with lots of vitamins and minerals, especially potassium and phosphorus. The phosphorus is important because most of us don't get enough.

Note 1: for a higher vegetable serving use a 1-pound package of vegetables... or substitute fresh ones (takes longer but worth it).

If mixing beef and poultry flavors isn't your style, use low sodium chicken bouillon instead.
