Spaghetti with Ground Turkey

Ingredients:
1lb ground turkey
1/2 box whole wheat spaghetti
1 jar meatless spaghetti sauce


This recipe is very self explanatory. You make it just like regular spaghetti, just substituting ground turkey for ground beef and whole wheat spaghetti for regular spaghetti noodles.


I make sure to measure out servings before mixing all the ingredients together. I use 4 oz of ground turkey, one cup of spaghetti and about 3/4 cup of sauce. An easy tip when you're measuring the ground turkey is to split it into 4 parts (see picture below) since it comes in 16 oz packages.

I top my spaghetti with red pepper flakes. It's quick and easy! Such a good meal with healthy carbohydrates! Makes for good leftovers the next day.
