Name: Turkey and Poppy Seed Casserole

Education about God precedes and serves exultation in God. Learning truth precedes loving truth. Right reflection on God precedes right affection for God. Seeing the glory of Christ precedes savoring the glory of Christ. Good theology is the foundation of great doxology. Knowledge is utterly crucial. But it is not an end in itself. It serves faith and love. And if it doesn't, it only puffs up, as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 8:1. Where education does not produce heartfelt exultation in God, it degenerates into proud intellectualism. And where exultation is not sustained and shaped by solid Biblical education, it degenerates into proud emotionalism. God means to be known and loved. Seen and savored. Pondered and praised.

INSTRUCTIONS

*  I use cut-up leftover turkey or chicken (approximately 1 1/2 cups).
Heat oven to 375.  Grease a 2-qt. casserole.  Cook and drain noodles as
directed on package.  If using ground turkey, melt butter in a 10" skillet
over medium heat.  Cook turkey, onion and  bell pepper for 4 to 6 minutes,
stirring frequently, until turkey is no longer pink.  (When using leftover
turkey/chicken, cook just the onion and bell pepper for 4 to 6 minutes. Add
turkey/chicken during the last 2 or 3 minutes.)  Stir in tomatoes, salt and
pepper.  Mix ricotta, sour cream and  poppy seed in a large bowl.  Stir in
noodles.  Spoon 3/4's of the noodle mixture into the casserole dish.  Spoon
turkey mixture over noodle mixture.  Top with with remaining noodle
mixture. Cover and bake for 50 minutes or until hot. Sprinkle with Romano
cheese and parsley.
