Directions
Heat oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper and mushrooms; sauté until lightly browned, 8 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds more. Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, water, parsley, Italian seasoning, sugar, garlic powder, pepper and bay leaves. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, 1 hour.
Spray large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray. Crumble in turkey and chicken; cook over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Add to sauce with slotted spoon and simmer 5 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaves.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F. Cook pasta according to package directions.
Cover bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish with 1/3 of sauce. Add 1/2 the pasta; sprinkle with 1/2 the cheeses. Top with another layer of sauce and pasta, then spread with the remaining sauce. Cover with foil and bake until bubbly, 25-30 minutes; remove foil and sprinkle with remaining cheeses. Bake until cheese melts, 5-10 minutes more.
