Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces gluten-free spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until it begins to soften.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground turkey to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break the meat into small pieces. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, mixing well to combine with the turkey and onions.
Add the dried basil, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to incorporate.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Just before serving, stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Serve the turkey sauce over the cooked gluten-free spaghetti. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
Enjoy your Gluten-Free Ground Turkey Spaghetti!
