Cheesy Ground Turkey Pasta
  1. Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes until soft. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

  3. Step 2: Brown the Ground Turkey

  4. Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.

  5. Step 3: Add the Seasonings

  6. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to coat the turkey with the spices.

  7. Step 4: Build the Sauce

  8. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth. Stir everything together, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  9. Step 5: Cook the Pasta in the Sauce

  10. Add the uncooked pasta directly into the skillet. Stir to combine, then cover and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and has absorbed the flavors of the sauce.

  11. Step 6: Make it Creamy & Cheesy

  12. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Then, add shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.

  13. Step 7: Garnish & Serve

  14. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil. Serve immediately and enjoy!
