• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh basil, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 5

Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it is fully cooked and no longer pink.

Step 6

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add the tomato paste. Mix well to combine.

Step 7

Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and ground black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and gently toss it with the sauce until fully coated.

Step 10

Serve the turkey spaghetti hot, garnished with chopped fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
