Spaghetti w/ Ground Turkey Meat Sauce by Becca Larkin serves: 6	No ratings Rating Details Rate this recipe Printable View Print Index Cards

A quick and easy family favorite made lighter by using ground turkey instead of beef. Left overs are great packed for lunches the next day or you can freeze extras in individual portions which make for "fast food" on your next busy night.

Ingredients:

1 box

Spaghetti Noodles (1 lb.)

1 lb

Ground Turkey

1 jar

Spaghetti Sauce (24 oz.)

1 tsp

Salt (added to water)

2 Tbsp

Olive Oil

1 tsp

Fresh Ground Pepper

1 tsp

Sea Salt

1 tsp

Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

1 bottle

Parmesan Cheese (optional)

Directions:

Fill a stock pot half full with water, add 1 tsp. of salt to water, bring to boil. Add noodles and set a timer for recommended cooking time for your noodles as listed on the box. Heat 2 Tbsp of Olive Oil in a skillet with fairly deep sides and add your 1 lb package of ground turkey to the pan, season meat with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to taste (skip red pepper flakes if you don't want any spice). Break up ground turkey as it browns, turning to cook both sides. Once meat is cooked drain the meat of any oil and put back into the skillet. Pour jar of spaghetti sauce over the browned turkey using low heat. Check timer to see how long your noodles have left, if close test by tasting one noodle. Once cooked to your liking, drain noodles and add to your meat sauce. Combine and then serve with Parmesan Cheese to be added individually.
