Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (16 ounce) package ground turkey
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) package rotini pasta
1 pound broccoli florets
1 (24 ounce) jar tomato-basil pasta sauce, warmed

Steps:

  • Bring 4 quarts of water to a rapid boil in a stockpot.
  • In the meantime, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, stirring frequently, until crumbled and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in onion, Italian seasoning, and pepper and cook until onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, add pasta to the boiling water; return to a boil and cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Add broccoli and continue cooking until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite and broccoli is just fork-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Drain pasta and broccoli and return to the pot. Stir in the turkey mixture and pasta sauce; mix thoroughly.
