A quick and easy pasta dinner…
Simple Turkey Sausage with Pasta is a perfect, weeknight dinner for a busy family.
Simple Turkey Sausage with Pasta
1 package ( 1 1/4 pounds) Ground Turkey
1 teaspoon Fennel Seed
1/2 teaspoon Sage
1/2 teaspoon Thyme
Salt and Pepper to Taste
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes (if desired)
1 can Italian Seasoned Diced Tomatoes
Olive Oil
8 ounces Pasta (we used bow-tie)
Grated Parmesan Cheese, if desired
Start by warming a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Then, add a small amount of olive oil, the ground turkey, and all of the spices. Stir and cook until turkey is done. Add the can of diced tomatoes. The sauce is finished!
While cooking the turkey, start your favorite type of pasta. When the pasta is done, reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta and add it to the meat mixture. If it seems a little dry to you, add a little bit of the reserved water.
Top with Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!
