Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced (any color)
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 ounces dry pasta (penne, fusilli, or any short pasta)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- water for boiling pasta
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the ground turkey and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned.
Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and stir to combine.
Stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-12 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the turkey and sauce. Toss to thoroughly coat the pasta in the sauce.
Sprinkle in the chopped parsley and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Toss once more to combine.
Serve hot, garnished with the remaining Parmesan cheese and additional parsley if desired.
