In large skillet, cook and stir turkey and garlic-pepper blend over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until turkey is no longer pink. Add cooked macaroni, zucchini, basil and Alfredo sauce, mix well. Spoon mixture into csserole dish.

Note from Author: I had a few green onions in the fridge I added and hubby suggested next time adding a chopped up tomato or two which I thought a good idea to try. That would also add some nice color.
