How’s it go?

Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground Turkey (lean, fresh)
• 1 medium Green Bell Pepper (diced)
• 1 medium Onion (diced)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper (freshly cracked)
• 1 teaspoon Salt (kosher or table)
• 2 cups Marinara Sauce (store‑bought or homemade)
• 12 ounces Spaghetti (dry, broken in half for easier stirring)
• 1 cup Heavy Cream (35% fat)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated)
• 0.5 cup Cheddar Cheese (shredded, mild)
• 0.5 cup Mozzarella Cheese (shredded, low‑moisture)
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (for sautéing)
• 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning Blend (optional, homemade or store‑bought)

Instructions

1. Prep the Vegetables

   Dice the onion and green bell pepper into ½‑inch pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

   Time: PT10M

2. Boil the Spaghetti

   Fill a large pot with 4‑5 quarts of water, add 1 tsp salt, and bring to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 9‑10 minutes.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 212°F

3. Cook the Ground Turkey

   While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the ground turkey, sprinkle with cracked black pepper, salt, and the optional Italian seasoning blend. Break the meat apart and sauté until no longer pink, about 6‑8 minutes.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: medium-high

4. Add Vegetables and Marinara

   Add the diced onion, green pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the turkey. Sauté for 2‑3 minutes until softened. Stir in the marinara sauce, bring to a gentle simmer, and let it meld for 5 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: medium

5. Create the Creamy Alfredo Blend

   Reduce heat to medium‑low. Pour in the heavy cream, then add the grated Parmesan, shredded Cheddar, and shredded Mozzarella. Stir continuously until the cheeses melt and the sauce thickens, about 4‑5 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: medium

6. Combine Pasta and Sauce

   Drain the spaghetti using the colander and return it to the pot or skillet. Toss the pasta with the turkey‑alfredo sauce until evenly coated. Let it sit for 1‑2 minutes so the flavors meld.

   Time: PT2M

7. Plate and Serve

   Divide the creamy turkey spaghetti among four plates. Garnish with extra grated Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
