Ground turkey can be prepared in various ways and used in various dish. It could be eaten with bread, pasta, ground provisions or simply solo. 

Prep: About 10 minutes     Cook: About 25 minutes         Total: About 35 minutes

Set up your ingredients!

3 pounds ground turkey you could use 1 pound depending on your family size and reduce measurements

15 oz sauce spaghetti, tomato or pizza

1 tablespoon ketchup additional ½ cup ketchup

1 tablespoon mustard

½ cup barbeque sauce

1 tablespoon butter or oil

½ teaspoon ground curry

½ teaspoon ground turmeric

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon adobo

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon oregano

One large chopped onion

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs celery, chives, parsley

1 teaspoon crushed garlic

I used blended seasoning made the day before!

Vegetables

1 cup grated carrots

1 cup grated white cabbage

1 cup grated purple cabbage

Spinach

Optional

½ cup parmesan cheese

Instructions for ground turkey preparation

Step 1: Season

Add unfrozen ground turkey to a large bowl. Add curry, turmeric, oregano, black pepper, adobo, salt, onion, garlic and herbs to unfrozen ground turkey then mix.

Place ketchup, mustard and barbeque sauce to mixture. Use your fingers or a fork to mix evenly.

Step 2: Bake

Add seasoned ground turkey to tray and let bake for 20 minutes at 180 ﹾC. I used a toaster oven so no preheating was needed.

Vegetables preparation

Step 1

Add carrot and cabbage to a colander and let boil for two minutes. Then add spinach, boil for an additional minute.

Note

I love crunchy vegetables! You could let your vegetables boil for two more minutes or simply keep the colander covered after boiling. The moisture will soften the vegetables!

I add the spinach last because it gets soft quickly.

Perfect match!

Optional! Seasoned vegetables

Add butter or oil to heated pan then add chopped onions, garlic and herbs. Let simmer for 30 seconds whilst stirring.

Add vegetables, stir and let sit for 30 seconds.

Add baked ground turkey to mixture and let boil for a minute.

Add spaghetti sauce and let boil for two minutes whilst stirring occasionally.

Cool and serve!

Add parmesan cheese on top!

Hope you enjoy this tender and juicy ground turkey recipe!
