Step 1

1) Boil the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until tender (al dente). Drain the pasta and set it aside. 2) Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until fully browned and no pink remains. Season the turkey with half the salt and pepper, then remove it from the pan and set it aside. 3)Sauté aromatics: Add the remaining olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 minutes until soft. Add the minced garlic and Italian seasoning, cooking for 1 more minute until fragrant. 4)Make the sauce base: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes. 5) Combine everything: Stir the cooked ground turkey and the remaining butter into the skillet until the butter melts and coats the meat. Toss in the cooked pasta and mix well over low heat for 2 minutes until hot and well-coated.
