Suzy’s Italian Turkey Pasta

Sometimes I add more tomatoes when I need to stretch the recipe or use other varieties of canned tomatoes (or just plain). In other words, feel free to adapt and improve – let me know if you find any alterations that rock :)

Italian Turkey Pasta

1 lb Ground Turkey
3 TBSP Sage (rubbed)
2 TBSP Butter
2 TBSP Olive Oil
2 cloves minced garlic
1 large can diced tomatoes (garlic & basil variety turns out yummy)
1/4 cup Fresh Basil, chopped (to taste)

1. Heat butter and olive oil in a large pan.
2. Add garlic and saute for about 1 minute.
3. Add sage and toss in butter & oil.
4. Add ground turkey; cook for 5-10 minutes, turning frequently, until most of the pink is gone.
5. Add diced tomatoes (including liquid) and simmer for 5-10 minutes, until heated thoroughly.
6. Mix fresh basil in to the pan. It will wilt but will not cook thoroughly.

Serve over pasta. Toss with small mozzarella balls or add shaved parmesan as desired.

Note: I use sage and basil very liberally in this dish – not really sure how much, I just add until it feels right. Feel free to modify based on your tastes.
