TOMATO BASIL SOUP
A creamy rendition of a traditional favorite. This has made me a SouperHero in my house. This meal is full-bodied enough to not need the addition of a sandwich; however, garlic bread is nice for dipping.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure to gather and prepare all of your ingredients and tools. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
- Seasoning: Don't be afraid to season your food well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste. Some good options for this recipe include garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
- Cook the Turkey Thoroughly: Make sure to cook the ground turkey until it is no longer pink in the center. This is important for food safety.
- Use Fresh Basil: Fresh basil adds a delicious flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh basil on hand, you can substitute dried basil, but it won't be quite as flavorful.
- Serve Immediately: This casserole is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
This tomato basil turkey casserole is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is perfect for a busy family. It is packed with flavor and is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. The combination of ground turkey, tomato sauce, basil, and pasta is simply irresistible. Serve this casserole with a side salad or some crusty bread for a complete meal.
