Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound ground turkey or ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ cup julienned sun dried tomatoes drained from a jar with oil
  • 2 roma tomatoes diced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Once the skillet is hot, add the olive oil and onions.
  3. Cook for 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, approximately 6-8 minutes.
  5. Drain any grease from the skillet, then add the oregano, parsley, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomatoes, roma tomatoes and capers.
  6. Simmer on low for 5 minutes.
  7. Add the tomato sauce and macaroni noodles.
  8. Pour the beef broth over the noodles. Make sure all of the noodles are completely covered in liquid.
  9. Place a lid on the skillet and simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes.
  10. Remove the lid and add the lemon juice to the pasta.
  11. Transfer to a large bowl, sprinkle with the feta cheese and garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if you’d like.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days.
  • Reheat in a microwave-safe dish in the microwave for 2 minutes. I recommend squeezing a lemon wedge over the dish after it's been reheated to add a zest of freshness to the dish. I also recommend topping it with fresh feta cheese, after it's been reheated.
  • If you're heating up more than one serving, you can also reheat it on the stove in a medium pot, over medium heat, for 7-9 minutes, or until heated through. Serve with a fresh lemon wedge and feta cheese.
  • To make this recipe vegetarian, replace the ground turkey with meatless crumbles. Also, use vegetable broth instead of beef broth.
  • To make this recipe vegan, follow the instructions above to make it vegetarian, and omit the feta cheese on top of the dish.
  • To make this recipe gluten free, use gluten-free macaroni noodles, or a gluten free pasta of a similar size. Always make sure the broth used is gluten free.
