Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 pound pasta

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Notes

  • For a creamier ground turkey pasta, stir in a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of cream cheese into the sauce before adding the pasta.
  • Add your favorite vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach to the sauce for a healthier ground turkey pasta primavera.
  • This ground turkey and pasta dish can be made ahead and reheated.
