Seasoned ground turkey gets cooked down with onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms in a rich marinara sauce, then spooned over split, fluffy microwaved potatoes.
A shower of grated Parmesan and fresh parsley on top ties it all together.
This is comfort food that leans a little lighter without sacrificing an ounce of satisfaction.
Kitchen Tips
- Use a nonstick skillet and skip the oil. Ground turkey releases enough fat on its own to keep things moving.
- Microwave the potatoes while the turkey simmers so everything finishes at the same time. No waiting around.
- Swap marinara for arrabbiata sauce if you want some heat, or stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes.
