Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook turkey over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and set aside. In the same skillet, saute the onions, green pepper, celery and garlic in butter until crisp-tender. Stir in flour until blended.

Return turkey to the pan. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 1 cup American cheese, tomatoes, milk and Cajun seasoning. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add fettuccine; mix well.

Transfer to a greased shallow 3-quart baking dish. Top with remaining American cheese. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350ºF for 15 minutes or until heated through.
