Ingredients

• 12 oz Bow tie pasta (farfalle)
• 1 lb Ground turkey
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 Yellow onion, diced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Zucchini, diced
• 1 Red bell pepper, diced
• 15 oz Canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the bow tie pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked.

Step 3

Push the turkey to one side of the skillet and add the diced onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic. Stir and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced zucchini and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 5

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken or vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta in the sauce and combine the ingredients evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the skillet and stir until melted and incorporated into the dish. Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your Turkey Bow Tie Skillet!
