Equipment

Instant Pot

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey 93% lean
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup onion chopped
1 garlic clove minced
1 jar marinara sauce 25.25-ounce
8 ounces spaghetti wheat or gluten-free, broken in half

Optional

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

press the saute button on an Instant Pot
(electric pressure cooker). When hot, add ground turkey and salt and brown the meat, using a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces as it cooks, about 3 minutes.
Add in the onion and garlic and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the marinara sauce, 2 cups water, and the spaghetti, making sure the liquid covers everything. Do not stir, as space will be tight.
Seal and cook on high pressure for 9 minutes, until the pasta and sauce is cooked. Quick release, then open when the pressure subsides. Serve right away, topped with Parmesan, if desired.

Notes

No pressure cooker? No problem! To make this in a large pot or Dutch oven, saute over medium-high heat in step 1. Add 1/4 cup more water. Bring to a boil, then cook, covered, over medium-low heat until the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is cooked, about 17 minutes, before topping with Parmesan and serving.
