Notes

Ground Turkey Pasta can be topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor. It pairs well with a simple side salad or garlic bread. Make sure to fully brown the turkey for the best flavor. Feel free to add more vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for extra nutrition. If you like a bit of heat, add some red pepper flakes while cooking. You can also switch things up by using different types of pasta or swapping ground turkey for ground chicken or beef.
