INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Crushed Tomatoes
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cup Fresh Basil, chopped
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/4 medium Onion, diced
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the extra virgin olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic and diced onion until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, and stir in the chopped fresh basil. Let the marinara simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired.
Toss the cooked pasta with the turkey marinara sauce until evenly coated. Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
