Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound dark meat ground turkey
3 cloves garlic, minced or grated
1 tablespoon minced thyme leaves
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dry vermouth or white wine
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
1 pound torchiette or any short pasta
1 bunch spinach, roughly chopped
1 cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • Bring a large stock pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil along with the ground turkey and cook, breaking up the turkey with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn the heat to medium low and add the garlic and thyme; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Next, add the flour and stir to coat. If the skillet looks too dry, add 1 to 2 more tablespoons olive oil. Cook, stirring, until it smells nutty, about 2 minutes. Deglaze the skillet with the vermouth or white wine and cook, scraping up the browned bits with the wooden spoon, until the liquid evaporates. Next, add the milk and 1 cup Parmesan, liberally season with salt and pepper then simmer on low heat until the sauce thickens, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • At this point drop the pasta into the boiling water and cook per the package directions until al dente.
  • Five minutes before the pasta is ready, add the spinach and peas to the sauce and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning; add more salt and pepper, if necessary. Add the pasta, along with 3/4 to 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, directly to the skillet and stir until the sauce is thick and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Serve the pasta in shallow bowls, then sprinkle with pepper and extra Parmesan.
