Tips:
- Choose the right pasta. Spaghetti is a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use other long pasta shapes like linguine or fettuccine. If you're using a shorter pasta shape like penne or macaroni, you may need to adjust the cooking time.
- Brown the turkey meat well. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry. Be sure to break up the meat into small pieces as it cooks.
- Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really makes this dish, so be sure to use one that you enjoy. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own from scratch. If you're making your own sauce, be sure to use fresh ingredients and simmer it for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
- Add some vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to this dish. You can add any vegetables that you like, but some good options include onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, and zucchini.
- Serve with a side of bread or salad. This will help to round out the meal and make it more satisfying.
