One Pot Turkey Pasta
Description
One Pot Turkey Pasta starts by sautéing onion and zucchini in olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper until softened. Ground turkey and garlic are added and cooked through with herbs including basil and oregano. Marinara sauce and vegetable stock are poured in, brought to a boil, then penne pasta is added and simmered until al dente, absorbing flavors from the sauce and stock.
The pasta becomes infused with the savory sauce and tender turkey, while the zucchini adds subtle freshness. After cooking, grated Parmesan is stirred in off heat, enhancing creaminess and flavor.
The finished meal is garnished with fresh basil leaves and can be served as a satisfying main dish. Using one pot streamlines the cooking process and results in fewer dishes to wash.
