Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz spaghetti (dried, dairy-free)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 28 oz diced tomatoes (canned, no added dairy)
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 cup vegetable broth (or chicken broth, dairy-free)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the spaghetti is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavor.
Add the canned diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
Season the sauce with dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
