Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 3 1/2 cups chicken broth low sodium
- 2 cups whole milk or 2%
- 1 cup Rao's marinara sauce
- 14 ounces short pasta regular, whole wheat or gluten-free
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat large pot or deep skillet on medium-high heat and add a bit of oil to coat. Add ground turkey and cook for 5 minutes, constantly breaking into small pieces and stirring.
- Add chicken broth, milk, marinara sauce and pasta. Stir, cover and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to low and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until pasta is cooked. I recommend to stir a few times to avoid pasta sticking.
- Turn off heat, add cheese and stir to incorporate.
- Serve hot garnished with parsley, pepper or hot sauce.

Notes
- Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. You might have to adjust consistency with more broth or milk when reheating.
- Freeze: Pasta doesn't freeze well, so I don't recommend to do so.
