Turkey Linguini

This is basically what my family eats for "spaghetti". We just prefer the linguini noodles to the spaghetti noodles and also ground turkey instead of ground beef.
I also always make my sauce homemade! =)




YOU WILL NEED:

1 lb ground turkey
1 lb diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, & oregano 
6 oz tomato paste
1 onion
1 green bell pepper
1 tsp minced garlic
1 package of linguini noodles
parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
Italian seasoning, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, tony chachere's & lawrys


DIRECTIONS:


First you will need to dice your onion or put it in the food processor..


Then you want to do the same with your bell pepper..


Now you want to put your ground turkey, peppers, onions, minced garlic and seasonings in a pot and cook together


until turkey meat is browned, and then drain..


now add in your diced tomatoes and tomato paste


add enough water to cover the top of the meat..


now simmer for several hours, and the last hour or so take off the lid and add in some parmesan cheese and season to taste.
you want your sauce to be thick..


Boil your linguini noodles, drain and toss in butter and oregano


Then add into your sauce and continue to cook on low until sauce is soaked into the noodles..



Plate and top with parmesan cheese! =)
