Whole-Wheat Penne with Turkey and Asparagus image

Provided by Claire Robinson

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pounds turkey breast scaloppini cutlets
1/4 cup garlic-flavored olive oil, plus more as needed
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar, plus more as needed
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces whole-wheat, whole-grain penne
1 pound asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Put the turkey cutlets in a glass bowl and add the garlic-flavored olive oil and vinegar and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to coat, and let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, over medium heat, and add a generous amount of salt.
  • Remove the turkey from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid and transfer to a plate. Drizzle with oil to keep it from sticking and season well with salt and pepper. Grill the cutlets, turning once, until the turkey is cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  • Boil the pasta according to the package instructions. Add the asparagus in the last 2 minutes of cooking time. Carefully remove about 1/2 cup of the cooking water and reserve. Drain the pasta in a colander, add some garlic oil to the bottom of the pot and return the pasta to the pot, off the heat. Add the turkey and any juices released to the cooked pasta and toss to combine.
  • Season the pasta with salt and pepper, to taste and drizzle with additional olive oil and vinegar, if desired. Add the pasta cooking water, a tablespoon at a time and toss until the pasta is evenly moistened. Transfer to a serving platter or bowl and serve warm, room temperature, or cold right out of the refrigerator.

TURKEY SAUSAGE, PEPPER AND ONION SKILLET



Turkey Sausage, Pepper and Onion Skillet image

Meet weeknight cooking at its best! Combining a few flavorful ingredients (Italian sausage, onions, garlic) with pantry staples (Muir Glen™ crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning) and utilizing a simple cooking technique (grab that skillet), this recipe builds flavor with every step. Here's what we mean: Onions and peppers are sautéed in the drippings left behind from cooking the sausage. Aromatic garlic and Italian seasoning get added toward the end, so they have time to bloom (open up) without getting overcooked. Acidic tomatoes help release any flavor stuck to the bottom of the pan after the other ingredients have been cooked, to the benefit of the entire dish (and the dishwasher!). So the end result is a single-dish dinner alive with richly spiced sausage, silky cooked vegetables and swimming in a tomatoey pan sauce.

TURKEY SAUSAGE AND PEPPER SKILLET



Turkey Sausage and Pepper Skillet image

This easy and flavorful skillet recipe is one you'll want to put in your regular rotation. It's healthier than using pork sausage and makes for a quick weeknight dinner, and works well for meal-prepping. I like to serve mine over steamed rice.

Provided by France C

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Turkey     Sausage

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 sweet Italian turkey sausage links (such as Jennie-O®)
1 large red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook turkey sausages until they begin to brown and firm up, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and let cool slightly before cutting into 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices; they will not be completely cooked at this point.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over high heat. Quickly stir-fry onion until it begins to brown, about 1 minute. Add peppers and continue cooking over high heat, stirring constantly, until peppers begin to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcrowd the skillet in order to get a nice char on the vegetables. Mix in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Return sausage, and any accumulated juices, to the skillet. Season with crushed red pepper, salt and pepper and reduce heat to medium. Stir to combine and continue cooking until sausage is no longer pink in the center, about 2 minutes more.

SAUSAGE ASPARAGUS AND POTATO SKILLET



Sausage Asparagus and Potato Skillet image

We just tried this tonight and it was delicious! Try it as it is or add bell peppers and herbs for extra seasoning. We put vegan mozzerella cheese on top, which melts quickly and becomes like a smooth sauce. The asparagus blends nicely into the other flavors. This is best in the spring when the vegetable is in season.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green, with tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are woody or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Cook the asparagus properly. Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most popular methods are sautéing, roasting, and steaming. Sautéing: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add some olive oil or butter and swirl to coat the pan. Add the asparagus and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Roasting: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the asparagus with some olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 10-12 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Steaming: Fill a large pot with a few inches of water and bring to a boil. Place a steamer basket over the pot and add the asparagus. Cover and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
  • Don't overcook the turkey sausage. Turkey sausage is a lean meat, so it can easily become dry if it's overcooked. Cook the sausage over medium heat until it's browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add your favorite seasonings. This recipe is a basic guide, but you can easily add your favorite seasonings to taste. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • Serve immediately. Asparagus and turkey sausage skillet is best served immediately, while the asparagus is still tender-crisp and the sausage is hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Asparagus and turkey sausage skillet is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight. It's also a healthy dish that's packed with nutrients. The asparagus is a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber. The turkey sausage is a lean protein that's low in saturated fat and cholesterol.
