INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Turkey
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta
1 medium Tomato
1/4 cup Red Bell Pepper
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Basil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until they become fragrant and lightly softened.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until it is no longer pink and begins to brown.
Stir in the chopped tomato and red bell pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5-7 minutes so the vegetables soften and meld with the turkey.
Mix in the fresh basil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for an additional minute to blend the flavors.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the turkey and vegetable marinara, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated.
Serve warm, garnished with extra basil if desired.
