Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 lb 93% ground turkey
- ½ red onion
- 1 bag frozen shredded carrot + cabbage
- ½ cup frozen corn
- 1 box banza chickpea noodles
- 32 oz vegetable broth
- 4-5 leaves fresh basil
- 1 large handful of parsley stalks
- ¼ cup White Cheddar Cheese
- salt + pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large pot or Dutch oven on medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Add minced garlic and ground turkey into the pot.
- Dice red onion finely and toss into pot. Add frozen shredded carrots/cabbage mixture and corn to the pot.
- Sauté until ground turkey is cooked. Push the meat/vegetable mixture to the edges of the pan, making a nest shape.
- Pour chickpea noodles into the center of the pan. Pour vegetable stock over the noodles. If needed, move the meat/vegetable mixture into the noodles/vegetable stock so all of the noodles are covered.
- Put the lid on the pot and let simmer for 10-12 minutes. Place on medium-low heat and allow noodles to cook. Stir once or twice if needed to avoid burning. Once the noodles are al dente and most of the broth has evaporated, you'll be left with a creamy pasta mixture.
- Add finely diced basil leaves, parsley, and shredded white cheddar cheese. Stir again. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, microwave in 30-60 second intervals until the pasta is hot.
- Ensure that your pot or Dutch oven is deep enough. A traditional skillet will not work for this recipe because it isn't deep enough. I used my OurPlace Pan and it was barely large enough to make it work.
- You can turn this into a vegetarian recipe by substituting the ground turkey for a 50/50 blend of black beans and chickpeas. You can also add additional shredded carrots/mushrooms.
