Italian pasta bake w/ ground turkey

The recipe is from allrecipes.com, but I changed it to be more healthier. Used ground turkey and italian seasoning instead of italian sausage and whole wheat pasta instead of regular pasta and decreased the amt. of cheese used.Submitted by: KELLILVN

Creamy tomato crockpot italian chicken

great for your own variation! change/add veggies or the amount of chicken.
i made this from taking ideas from 2 other recipes.
very yummy. i used only 2 chicken breasts when i made it, because i have such a small slow cooker and there was ALOT of sauce, so you can add more chicken with out changing the amount of other ingredients. the nutrient info is for 3 chicken breasts, 5 servings. i served this over whole wheat pasta ( not included in the calculations) there is plenty of this with just 2 chicken breasts. might also go well over rice or egg noodles. you can also use a whole 8 oz of fat free or 1/3 fat cream cheese, i did half and half (as is the nutrition info)Submitted by: TIFANIEMARIE

Sauce wasn't spicy at all so that disappointed me, BUT it was full of everything a sauce should have and my family loved it. Maybe I'll add crushed red chili flakes or chopped serrano pepper next time. Will def. make again. Thanks for sharing! - 9/16/11
