Ingredients·        

• 12 ounces spaghetti, cooked, ½ cup cooking water reserved (Angel Hair)
• 1 small yellow onion, chopped finely 
•  Italian Seasoning while sautéing onions )
• 2 lbs Italian Sausage (push onions to side of pan and add sausage)
• 1 cup tomato paste, divided (12 oz can)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese (pecorino romano)
• 1½ cup shredded mozzarella and parmesan
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt to taste

Preheat oven to 350.

In a large skillet, sauté the onions until soft, sprinkling with Cajun Seasoning, Italian Seasoning, and Turmeric. Move onions to side of pan and add ground turkey folding in onions as it browns.

When turkey is browned and mixed with onions, add ¾ cup of the tomato paste. Add half the reserved pasta water and stir well. Season with salt, to taste. Consistency should be like a thick Bolognese sauce. Add more cooking water as needed.

In a large bowl, mix together the cooked spaghetti, eggs, 1 cup of Pecorino Romano, and ¼ cup of the tomato paste.

Grease a 9 or 10-inch pie pan with olive oil. Spread half the meat mixture over the bottom of the pan. Add the spaghetti mixture and press it down to level it. Top with the remaining meat mixture, then, scatter the remaining Mozzarella and Parmesan on top.

Bake the pie in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit about 10 minutes. Use a sharp knife or pizza slicer to cut into wedges like a pie. Serve with a green salad.
