Spaghetti With Ground Turkey Recipes

BAKED SPAGHETTI WITH GROUND TURKEY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish; set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water until just al dente, about a minute short of package instructions. Drain. In a large bowl whisk together the butter, parmesan, and eggs. Toss in the spaghetti to coat; set aside.
• In a large skillet or dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add in ground turkey and onion, breaking up turkey with a spoon. Cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add in garlic and cook one minute longer. Pour in tomato sauce and sprinkle on Italian seasoning and kosher salt. Bring sauce to a low boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Place half of the spaghetti mixture into baking dish. Top with half of the ricotta cheese and use a spatula to spread it over top. Sprinkle on half of the mozzarella and top with half of the meat sauce. Repeat layer by adding the remaining spaghetti, then ricotta, then meat sauce, and topping off with remaining mozzarella.
• Cover with aluminum foil. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and lightly brown, 10-15 minutes longer. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

GROUND TURKEY SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• In a 4 1/2 quart pot/pan brown the ground turkey over medium heat.
• Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened.
• Add tomato paste and crushed tomatoes, stirring until all is combined.
• Add chicken broth to thin it down a little bit.
• Add spices, butter, and salt and pepper and allow to simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes (just long enough to boil the water and cook the pasta!).
• Taste and adjust seasonings to preference.

SPAGHETTI AND TURKEY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain.
• Meanwhile, combine the turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, oregano, thyme and salt in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Form into 1 1/2-inch meatballs; a small ice-cream scoop makes short work of forming the meatballs and prevents the mixture from getting overworked.
• Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in a single layer (work in batches if necessary) and brown lightly on all sides, about 6 minutes. Pour in the sauce and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
• To serve, place spaghetti on each plate and ladle sauce and meatballs over the top. Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs if desired.

Add to browned ground turkey in the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and cook until asparagus is slightly tender, about 5 more minutes.

QUICK TURKEY SPAGHETTI

Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until spaghetti and vegetables are tender. Garnish with cheese if desired.

SPAGHETTI WITH GROUND TURKEY

Steps:

• Brown ground turkey until no longer pink.
• 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.
• Drain any fat.
• Add cooked ground turkey back to the pan, add the can of spaghetti sauce, set aside.
• Boil water for the noodles. Add a bit of salt once boiling, add noodles, cook per package instructions.
• 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.).
• Drain noodles. Make sure sauce is heated through.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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?.
