Cooking Steps

PDF
Cook turkey and peppers
1

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. When the pan is hot, add peppers, turkey and Mexican Seasoning. Cook, breaking up turkey into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Season with salt and pepper.

Start sauce
2

Add tomato sauce base. Cook, stirring often, until turkey mixture is coated, 1-2 min. Add crushed tomatoes, 1 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup milk. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat

Finish sauce and serve
3

Once boiling, reduce heat to medium, then add cavatappi. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until cavatappi is tender but still firm to the bite and pasta sauce has thickened, 12-13 min. Remove the pan from heat, then stir in half the cheese. Divide turkey taco pasta between bowls. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
