I bought some ground turkey, and then went to my trusty pal, Pinterest. I searched ideas for ground turkey, but was coming up empty-handed. I finally stumbled upon something I thought we could work with, Turkey Bow Tie Skillet. It comes from AllRecipes, which I love. Under the recipe, you can find reader reviews, and some of them even tell you about some great changes that make the recipes even better.
I used the original recipe along with some of the suggestions in the comments and came up with a meal that will definitely be a part of our weekly routine. It is also super-simple!
You will need:
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
1 1/2tsp seasoned EVOO
1/2 bell pepper, chopped
1 stalk of celery, chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
2 cans of chicken broth
3 cups uncooked bow tie pasta
i can Italian diced tomatoes
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp fresh minced parsley
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook turkey in oil over medium heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the celery, onion, green pepper, chili powder and garlic; cook until vegetables are tender. Remove the turkey and vegetables with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
Add chicken broth to the pan; bring to a boil. Add bow tie pasta; cook for 10 minutes or until tender. Reduce heat; stir in the stewed tomatoes, vinegar, Italian seasoning, and turkey mixture. Simmer for 10 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
This was super easy, and completely delish! AND! One 1 1/2 C serving (which is actually a lot) is only 5 points!
