An Easy Weeknight Meal
This saucy recipe is a family favorite.
It’s a healthier choice made with ground turkey but ground chicken works in this recipe too. I love that the prep time is quick and then it’s hands off as it simmers. This recipe reheats (and freezes) beautifully so feel free to double the recipe.
Ingredients and Variations
GROUND TURKEY Ground turkey is the perfect lower fat protein in this meal (ground chicken works too). VEGGIES Onion and garlic with bell pepper give the sauce a great flavor. If you have leftover roasted vegetables, toss them in! TOMATOES Crushed tomatoes for the base, diced tomatoes for texture, and tomato paste for thickening.
How to Make Ground Turkey Pasta Sauce
Cook up this one-pot, healthy turkey recipe anytime a pasta or casserole is needed! Serve over pasta, garnish with Parmesan cheese, and don’t forget to serve with a side of garlic toast.
Leftovers
Store cooled turkey pasta sauce in a covered container in the refrigerator for about 4 days. Reheat on the stovetop and serve as desired. For batch cooking, make at least two batches and freeze in quart-sized zippered bags with the date labeled on the outside. Turkey pasta sauce will keep up to 3 months in the freezer, just long enough to get through the winter!
