Cheesy Ground Turkey Pasta is a delightful dish combining pasta, ground turkey, and a creamy cheese sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces of pasta (penne or rotini works best)
  • 1 pound of ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup of chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
  4. Stir in the Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine the flavors.
  5. Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and the chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  6. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow it to simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  7. Gradually add the shredded cheese to the skillet, stirring until melted and the sauce is creamy.
  8. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it well with the cheesy turkey sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  9. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
