Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup onion
- 3 cups low-sodium marinara sauce
- 2 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 12 oz spaghetti
- 1 count bagged garden salad
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Steps
- Brown the turkey with the diced onion in the oil in a wide pot, 6 to 7 minutes, until no pink remains and it reaches 160°F. Add the garlic for 30 seconds.
- Pour in the marinara, broth and Italian seasoning and bring to a boil.
- Break the spaghetti in half, stir it in and simmer covered 12 to 14 minutes, stirring often so it doesn't clump, until tender.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve with salad.
- Make ahead: dice the onion and mince the garlic up to 2 days ahead. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days.
- Picky eaters can have plain spaghetti with a little sauce on the side and the salad plain.
On the side: Garlic bread (10 min)
1 package frozen garlic bread
- Bake the garlic bread as the package directs, about 10 minutes, until golden.
