I’m always looking for new ways to combine my 1/3 speed within a main meal and this Syn Free Turkey Ratatouille Pasta Bake is perfect for doing just that!
For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card at the end of this post. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff in the blurb 👍
I think turkey is a much under used and under rated meat. Not only is it economical but it’s so tasty and deserves to be cooked more than once a year.
This recipe uses the basic ratatouille vegetables but you could add any you’ve got in the fridge.
The cheese used is 6 Healthy Extras (which equals 1 HexA per portion) so if not using a HexA then you will need to Syn it accordingly.
I found that par-cooking the pasta cuts down the overall cooking time. Just make sure you don’t overcook it before it goes into the oven – sludgy pasta isn’t nice!
If you don’t have turkey, this Syn Free Turkey Ratatouille Pasta Bake would work just as well with chicken or even fish!
It reheats well so is good for lunches the following day or a second dinner. This dish serves 6 so is an excellent way of feeding a large family whilst on a budget, and still having leftovers!

I might be misreading the ingredients but it has 2 lots of HEa cheese in it so can’t be syn free as either the cheddar or mozzarella needs to be syned. Tell me where I’m going wrong please. Thank you.
Hi Sonya
The recipe makes 6 portions, and in total there are 6 x HexA amounts of cheese.
140 grams Reduced Fat Mozzarella Torn into small chunks (2 x HexA or 14 syns)
160 grams Reduced Fat Cheddar Grated (4 x HexA or 22.5 syns)
Hope that makes sense!

Hi, does this recipe use chunks/squares of turkey, or turkey mince? I assume chunks as it says diced but thought I better check! Thanks
Hi Emily
Yes, it’s cooked, diced turkey. 🙂
Making this tonight. Can’t wait to try it. Pre-ordered the cook book as well 😁
