Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package rotini pasta (such as Ronzoni® Healthy Harvest®)
1 pound ground turkey
½ cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (32 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain.
Combine turkey, onion, salt, black pepper, oregano, garlic powder, cinnamon, cumin, and cayenne pepper in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until turkey is browned, about 10 minutes. Add spaghetti sauce, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Pour over rotini.
