INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Ground Turkey
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (Dry)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (No Salt Added)
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
1/4 cup Red Bell Pepper, Diced
1/4 cup Onion, Diced
1 teaspoon Taco Seasoning
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Cilantro
1 tablespoon Lime Juice
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. Continue cooking until the turkey is browned and no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning, ensuring the turkey and vegetables are evenly coated.
Add the whole wheat pasta and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Pour in about 1/2 cup of water to help the pasta cook. Cover and let simmer for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente.
Once the pasta is cooked, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lime juice.
Sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese over the top, allowing the residual heat to melt the cheese slightly.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
