Boil Pasta
Fill a large pot with water, add a generous pinch of salt, bring to a rolling boil, then add the farfalle. Cook 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until al dente.
Time: PT12M
Temperature: 212°F
Cook Seasoned Turkey Crumble
While the water heats, heat a large skillet over medium‑high. Add 1.2 lb ground turkey (no oil) and crumble with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring, until the meat releases its fat and begins to brown, about 8 minutes. Add the diced half onion, pinch of curry powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 0.5 tsp black pepper, 0.75 tsp salt, and 1 tsp sweet paprika. Continue cooking until the onion softens and the meat is crispy, about 2 more minutes.
Time: PT10M
Prepare Garlic Yogurt Sauce
In a mixing bowl combine 1 cup full‑fat Greek yogurt, the crushed garlic clove, a pinch of salt, and 2 tbsp chopped flat‑leaf parsley. Stir until smooth.
Time: PT3M
Make Paprika Butter
Place 4 tbsp unsalted butter in a microwave‑safe bowl. Microwave on 50 % power for 1 minute, then stir in 1 tsp sweet paprika until fully incorporated.
Time: PT1M
Combine and Plate
Drain the cooked farfalle in a colander and return to the pot. Toss the hot pasta with the paprika butter until coated. Divide pasta among plates, dollop the garlic yogurt sauce on top, sprinkle the seasoned turkey crumble, add halved cherry tomatoes, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Optionally drizzle a little extra melted butter for richness.
