Ingredients
- 1 tbsp oil from sun-dried tomato jar
- 1 lb ground turkey or chicken
- 1/2 yellow onion finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1/4 cup oil packed sun-dried tomatoes finely chopped
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp paprika

- 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock plus more as needed
- 8 oz short-cut pasta such as cavatelli or penne
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cups fresh baby spinach roughy chopped
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large lidded pot over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, using a spoon to break it into small pieces.
- Once the turkey is just cooked through, add the onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning and paprika. Cook for another 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
- Stir in the heavy cream and chicken stock. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and add the pasta. Cover the pot and cook for 8-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pasta is cooked al-dente and almost all the liquid is absorbed. Add more chicken stock if needed.
- Once the pasta is cooked through, turn off the heat and stir in the spinach so it wilts. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve.
