Ingredients
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground turkey lean
- 1/2 cup onion diced
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt divided
- 1 Tbsp. chili powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp oregano dried
- 2 tsp cumin ground
- 1 1/2 cups salsa favorite; medium, non-chunky
- 3 cups water or chicken broth
- 3 cups shell pasta medium, uncooked
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- sour cream or Greek yogurt; for serving with cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. (Optional: See step 3)
- Heat a large oven-proof skillet with high sides to a medium-high heat. Add olive oil. Once oil is hot, add ground turkey. Use a wooden spoon to break up the turkey. Once the turkey is mostly cooked, add onion, garlic, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Continue to saute for 3-4 minutes until garlic and onion are softened.
- Add chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and oregano. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute. Add salsa, water, uncooked pasta and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until pasta is aldente, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure the pasta isn't sticking to the bottom. If you're using whole-wheat or gluten-free pasta, you may need to add a little bit more water and cook longer.
- Once the pasta is aldente, stir one last time and season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with cheese and cover with a lid or place in the oven just until the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes.
- Garish with sour cream and chopped parsley or cilantro.
