Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • ½ white onion (diced)
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 8 oz uncooked spiral protein pasta about 2 cups uncooked (regular pasta works too)
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 can (15 oz) white beans (cannellini or great northern, drained & rinsed)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (chopped)
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup freshly grated mozzarella

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat.

  2. Add the onion and ground turkey and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes or so. Add the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and tomato paste. Mix well so that the paste coats most of the ground turkey. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

  3. Add the chicken broth, pasta, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Stir well. Turn heat up and bring to a gentle boil.

  4. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until pasta is soft and tender. This is when I like to grate the cheese, to save on prep time. (If you're using a different pasta, check the cook time and use that. Check for doneness after the recommended time on the box.)

  5. Once pasta is done, turn the heat down to low. Add the butter, white beans, spinach, heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir until butter is melted and everything is well combined.

  6. Turn off the heat, sprinkle the top with mozzarella, cover and let sit for 5 minutes to let the cheese melt and sauce thicken. Enjoy!
