Instructions
1
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper, garlic, onion and mushrooms; cook, stirring frequently, until almost tender, about 7 to 8 minutes.
2
Remove turkey from casings; add to skillet and brown sausage until no longer pink, stirring occasionally, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 6 minutes. Add oregano, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes; stir in tomatoes. Simmer until heated through and to allow flavours to blend, about 5 minutes.
3
Spoon penne into a deep serving bowl; spoon sausage mixture over top and then sprinkle with cheese. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving.
