Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb ground turkey breast
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
1 small yellow onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium zucchini, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt (more or less to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (26 ounce) jar prego pasta sauce (or other sauce of choice)
1 (16 ounce) package vermicelli or 1 (16 ounce) package thin spaghetti

Steps:

  • Sauté garlic and bell peppers in olive oil until bell peppers are soft.
  • Add onion and zucchini, continue to cook until all veggies are tender.
  • In a separate pan brown turkey meat, add salt, pepper, basil, oregano and cinnamon.
  • Sauté until turkey is cooked through.
  • Combine turkey mixture with cooked vegetables.
  • Add pasta sauce, simmer for 5-10 minutes or until all flavors are well combined.
  • Boil water for pasta.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. Look for organic, locally-sourced produce whenever possible.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the turkey and vegetables, make sure to give them enough space to cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the food will steam instead of sear, resulting in a less flavorful dish.
  • Season generously: Don't be afraid to season your dish with plenty of herbs and spices. This will help to bring out the natural flavors of the ingredients.
  • Cook the turkey until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the turkey is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish your dish with fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, or basil. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This turkey and veggie spaghetti is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
