Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground turkey, or ground beef
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ cup julienned sun dried tomatoes, drained from a jar with oil
- 2 roma tomatoes, diced
- ¼ cup capers
- 8 ounce can tomato sauce
- 2 cups macaroni noodles, uncooked
- 2 cups beef broth, or chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped - optional garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the olive oil and onions.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Drain any grease from the skillet, then add the oregano, parsley, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomatoes, roma tomatoes and capers.
- Simmer on low for 5 minutes.
- Add the tomato sauce and macaroni noodles.
- Pour the beef broth over the noodles. Make sure all of the noodles are completely covered in liquid.
- Place a lid on the skillet and simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the lid and add the lemon juice to the pasta.
- Transfer to a large bowl, sprinkle with the feta cheese and garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if you’d like.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days.
- Reheat in a microwave-safe dish in the microwave for 2 minutes. I recommend squeezing a lemon wedge over the dish after it's been reheated to add a zest of freshness to the dish. I also recommend topping it with fresh feta cheese, after it's been reheated.
- If you're heating up more than one serving, you can also reheat it on the stove in a medium pot, over medium heat, for 7-9 minutes, or until heated through. Serve with a fresh lemon wedge and feta cheese.
- To make this recipe vegetarian, replace the ground turkey with meatless crumbles. Also, use vegetable broth instead of beef broth.
- To make this recipe vegan, follow the instructions above to make it vegetarian, and omit the feta cheese on top of the dish.
- To make this recipe gluten free, use gluten-free macaroni noodles, or a gluten free pasta of a similar size. Always make sure the broth used is gluten free.
