Ingredients

  • Olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 - 3 bell peppers, diced
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper
  • 6 oz. gluten free spaghetti
  • 1 lb. ground turkey or chicken
  • 2 oz. cream cheese
  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 Tbsp. flour (I used oat flour)
  • 1 pkg. taco seasoning + 1/2 c. water
  • 16 oz. salsa

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. of olive oil. Sauté the onions, peppers, and garlic for 6-8 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan filled halfway with water, bring to a boil. Then, cook the pasta according to package directions.
  • Next, add ground turkey to the skillet with the veggies and cook until browned, about 4-6 minutes. Break up the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon and season with salt and pepper.
  • Now, add the cream cheese to the skillet. Then, add the butter and allow to melt. Next, stir in the flour.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir the taco seasoning packet with 1/2 cup of water. Pour over the meat and veggies. Then, add the jar of salsa and stir until combined.
  • Finally, stir in the drained pasta and about 1/3 cup of the warm pasta water. Garnish with cilantro and scallions.
