  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, organic vegetables, high-quality cheese, and flavorful herbs and spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the turkey and vegetables, be sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the perfect doneness of pasta. Pasta should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings this dish together. Be sure to use a flavorful sauce that complements the other ingredients in the dish.
