Spaghetti With Ground Turkey

1. 1

   Brown ground turkey until no longer pink.

2. 2

   Note: I am editing this recipe to add that lately I've been sauteeing chopped onion, chopped green pepper, and minced garlic along with the ground turkey; usually it's fine to add all these in at the same time and I have never had a problem with the different veggies and the ground turkey getting overdone/underdone.

3. 3

   Drain any fat.

4. 4

   Add cooked ground turkey back to the pan, add the can of spaghetti sauce, set aside.

5. 5

   Boil water for the noodles. Add a bit of salt once boiling, add noodles, cook per package instructions.

6. 6

   While noodles cook, heat up the sauce/turkey mixture. (Edited to add that my two favorite and best sauces are Prego brand Mushroom Supreme and Prego brand Roasted Garlic and Herb. My fave and steadfast combo is either one of these sauces to which I add the browned ground turkey, chopped onions, green peppers, and minced garlic.).

7. 7

   Drain noodles. Make sure sauce is heated through.

8. 8

   Serve! Ground turkey isn't as cheap as ground hamburger, but it's better for you and I've found you can replace ground turkey in nearly every ground beef recipe.

9. 9

   Try browning the ground turkey with some chopped onions too - that's always a yummy addition. But that's just because bf and I love onions.

10. 10

    You can also try the spaghetti sauce/turkey mixture over cooked white rice. Ground beef and spaghetti sauce tastes great over white rice, why not ground turkey?.
