• 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• ¼ Cup Yellow Onion, Diced.
• 1 Clove Garlic, Minced.
• 1 Lb Ground Turkey
• 1 Large Tomato, Diced. (Or Substitute: 1 Small Can Diced Tomatoes)

How to Make It

This tasty Ground Turkey Pasta is super easy to make in just a few simple steps. We'll show you how.

1. First, Over medium heat, sauté Diced Onion and Minced Garlic in 1 Tablespoon Salted Butter and 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil until just translucent.
   
2. Add Ground Turkey and brown it in the pan with the Onions and Garlic, breaking it up as it cooks and seasoning with Salt and Pepper as you go. Once the Ground Turkey is browned, add Diced Tomatoes, Italian Seasonings, and 3 Tablespoons of Butter.
   
   Tasty Tip: Be sure to liberally season the Ground Turkey with salt while you are browning it in the pan at each stage of the cooking process. Begin by sprinkling 1 Teaspoon of Salt over the raw meat when you add it to the pan. Then as you break up the meat and it begins to brown, sprinkle on a little more salt. Finally, once the meat has browned, do a taste test. The cooked Ground Turkey should be tasty at this point. If it's bland, add a little more salt.
   
3. Simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow time for the flavors to marry together.
   
4. Toss in cooked pasta, thoroughly coating the pasta with the delicious sauce.
   
5. Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan and serve immediately.
