Spaghetti with Marinara Sauce and Ground Turkey

Ingredients

• •1 pound ground turkey
• •1 pound spaghetti
• •28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
• •3 cloves garlic, minced
• •2 tablespoons olive oil
• •1 teaspoon dried oregano
• •1 teaspoon salt
• •½ teaspoon black pepper
• •½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• •2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped

Directions

1. 1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente; drain and set aside.
2. 2Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spoon until browned, about 5-7 minutes; drain excess fat if needed.
3. 3Add minced garlic to the turkey and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. 4Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes; simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. 5Taste sauce and adjust seasonings as needed, then stir in fresh basil.
6. 6Divide cooked spaghetti among serving bowls and top generously with turkey marinara sauce.

💡 Reduce marinara before adding cooked ground turkey to spaghetti; a watery sauce slides off pasta and makes lean turkey taste washed out.
