For Silver Fern’s What’s on My Plate Series, David share a recipe from Real Simple that his family like to enjoy: Pasta With Turkey and Broccoli.
The ingredients include:
- ¾ pound orecchiette
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- kosher salt
- Parmesan, for serving
Dr. Souder says, “Using whole grain pasta makes it even healthier. We like the balance between health and taste. It is a great way to enjoy broccoli because the blend of ground turkey, garlic, red pepper, and olive oil add a lot of flavor. Plus, it warms up great for leftovers!”
This simple dish comes together in 20 minutes and features broccoli, a powerhouse vegetable, along with ground turkey, which can be a great, lean meat option. For full directions and nutrition information, click here.
