Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the penne

Bring a medium sauce pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, prepare the turkey Bolognese.

2

Prep the turkey Bolognese ingredients

  • Cut a small corner from the ground turkey packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.

3

Cook the turkey Bolognese

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the mirepoix, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic-herb blend and tomato paste and cook until the herbs are fragrant and the tomato paste is caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the turkey and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the zucchini and 1 cup vegetable broth [1¾ cups, saving the rest for another use] and cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is just tender and the turkey is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the penne and peas and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, season to taste with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with as many chile flakes as you like.
