This recipe is a quick and easy way to the warm comfort of traditional baked ziti without turning on your oven. Ground turkey or chicken can easily be used in place of beef. If you don't have Italian seasoning on hand, a mixture of dried rosemary, oregano and thyme will do the trick. Serve topped with chopped fresh parsley.
