Linguine with Mushrooms, Tomatoes, and Ground Turkey

I wanted to try to make something a little more figure friendly and experiment with some new ingredients I never cooked with before (whole wheat pasta and ground turkey).

Ingredients:

• 1 lb of ground turkey
• 1 pint of baby portobello mushrooms (cleaned*** and sliced)
• 1 box of whole wheat linguine
  
• 28 oz can of diced tomatoes
• salt
• pepper
• italian seasoning
• garlic powder
• onion powder
• olive oil
  
• ketchup (optional)
• hot sauce (optional)

Brown the ground turkey in a large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. Season with salt, pepper, italian seasoning, garlic and onion powders. (I used a lot of pepper and italian seasoning and only a little bit of salt.) Add the sliced mushrooms and saute it all together. Add the can of tomatoes and add some more of the seasonings to taste. You can also add a squirt of ketchup or a dash of hot sauce for more tomato flavor or a bit more spice. Add the freshly cooked pasta, stir, and serve.

***In order to clean mushrooms do NOT rinse under running water because the mushrooms will absorb the liquid. Instead, wipe them clean with a damp clothe to remove any dirt.
