One-Pot Turkey and Veggie Spaghetti
This One-Pot Turkey and Veggie Spaghetti is one of my family's favorite comfort food dinners, with hidden vegetables for picky eaters!
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 lb raw 99% lean ground turkey breast
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, shredded (I used the largest holes on a box grater)
- 1 medium zucchini, shredded (I used the largest holes on a box grater)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 ½ cups reduced sodium chicken broth
- 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
- 1 (24 oz) jar pasta sauce, I used Francesco Rinaldi Original
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- 10 oz dry wheat spaghetti, broken in half (to fit better in the pot)
Instructions
- Drizzle the oil in a 5 QT Dutch oven or large pot and bring to medium heat. Add the turkey to the hot oil and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until broken into bite-sized pieces and mostly browned. Add the onion, carrot, zucchini and garlic and stir to combine. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are softened.
- Add the broth, tomato sauce, pasta sauce, Italian seasoning and basil and stir to combine. Add the broken spaghetti pieces and stir until pasta is covered. Increase the heat to med-high and bring the mixture to a boil. When the mixture is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked and the sauce has thickened.
- Remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes to allow sauce to thicken further before serving.
