Sommer'S Spaghetti With Ground Turkey - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
nonstick cooking spray
1 1/4 lbs ground turkey (lean or extra-lean)
1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped (white or yellow)
26 ounces prepared spaghetti sauce, your favorite flavor (I use a jar of Prego)
water, for boiling spaghetti noodles
16 ounces spaghetti noodles
1/2 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
Preparation
-
In a large pan, add ground turkey, worcestershire sauce (if using), chopped green pepper, and chopped onion. Cook on med-high heat, breaking up and crumbling turkey, until browned, but pepper and onion are still crisp. If using lean or extra-lean turkey, you may want to use non-stick spray before adding turkey. Drain, if using full-fat ground turkey.
Return meat mixture to pan, turn heat down to medium and add the entire 26 oz. jar of spaghetti sauce. Stir to combine. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat to low to keep warm while finishing cooking spaghetti noodles.
While ground turkey mixture is cooking, fill a large pot full of water. Add in a bit of olive oil, if using. Heat on high to boiling. If using salt, add a small amount of salt to boiling water.
Break spaghetti noodles in half, if desired. Add to boiling water, turn down to medium-high but make sure water continues to boil. Cook spaghetti to desired doneness or per package directions. Drain.
Serve hot spaghetti noodles with sauce.
