Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the diced zucchini and shredded carrot. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 3

    Cook the Ground Turkey

    Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the ground turkey. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to combine the flavors.

  5. 5

    Combine with Pasta

    Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce and the ingredients are evenly distributed.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top. Serve warm and enjoy!
