Recipe Tips:

• Choose Lean Turkey: Use lean ground turkey for a healthier meal without losing flavor.
• Control Creaminess: Add more half-and-half for a creamier sauce, or extra broth for a thinner one.
• Cook Pasta Al Dente: Cook pasta for 1-2 minutes less to keep it firm when mixed with the sauce.
• Add Vegetables: Add spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for extra nutrition and flavor.
• Taste and Season: Taste the dish at each stage and adjust the seasoning for the best flavor.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover Ground Turkey Pasta cool to room temperature, then put it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Cool the pasta before freezing. Store it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Heat the pasta in a pan over medium heat, adding some broth or water to prevent drying. Stir until hot.
