Instructions:
To start, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions and set them aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground turkey. Remove the turkey from the skillet and drain any excess fat.
Add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until the vegetables are soft. Add the can of diced tomatoes (undrained), tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together and let it simmer for a few minutes.
