ITALIAN SEASONED GROUND TURKEY RECIPES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine Italian seasoning, paprika, black pepper and crushed red pepper. In a medium bowl, combine ground turkey, seasoning mixture and garlic; use a wooden spoon or your clean hands to mix well.
• Coat an extra-large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey mixture and onion; cook 6 to 8 minutes or until browned, using a wooden spoon to break up meat as it cooks. Remove from skillet; cover and keep warm.
• Add the water to the same skillet; bring to boiling over medium-high heat. Add pasta; cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Return pasta and the reserved cooking liquid to the skillet; stir in tomato sauce, salt and cooked turkey. Heat through. Remove from heat; stir in spinach. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prepare a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Mix turkey, egg, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl; shape into a loaf and put into prepared baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes. Spoon about half the tomato sauce over the loaf and continue baking until the meatloaf is no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Rest meatloaf 5 to 10 minutes before slicing to serve.
• While the meatloaf rests, warm remaining tomato sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; serve with the sliced meatloaf.
