Creamy Ranch Turkey Pasta

My husband (I'll call him Mr. Z) and I have recently made a commitment to start eating healthier and exercising in order to get in better shape and just live an overall healthier life. I've gradually started subbing ground turkey and chicken breast for ground beef, using whole wheat instead of white, and using fat-free/low-fat/reduced fat over full-fat.

In trying to figure out what I could make with a package of ground turkey breast, I began browsing recipes in my Google Reader. I came across a recipe for Creamy Ranch Chicken Pasta that looked good, and decided that I could easily replace chicken with turkey. And boy, am I glad I did decide on this recipe...it was delicious!
