Ingredients:

  1. 1 tablespoons - canola oil
  2. 1 pounds - lean ground turkey
  3. 2 teaspoons - kosher salt, divided
  4. 3 teaspoons - ground cumin, divided
  5. 1 teaspoons - oregano
  6. 1 1/2 teaspoons - freshly ground black pepper, divided
  7. 1/4 teaspoons - crushed red pepper flakes
  8. 1 - medium onion, diced
  9. 1/2 cups - red bell pepper, diced
  10. 3 cloves - garlic, minced or pressed
  11. 1 cans - 10 oz. diced tomatoes and green chilies, mild
  12. 1/2 teaspoons - chili powder
  13. 10 ounces - dried penne pasta
  14. 3 cups - chicken broth
  15. 1/4 cups - heavy cream
  16. 4 cups - fresh baby spinach (2 big handfuls)
  17. 1/2 cups - shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  18. - chopped cilantro, for garnish

Directions:

Heat the oil in a large, high-sided skillet or Dutch oven over medium high heat until oil shimmers and then add the ground turkey along with 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, all of the oregano, a ½ teaspoon of black pepper and the crushed red pepper. Break up the turkey with the spices and cook for about 5 minutes.

Stir in the onion, red bell pepper, and pressed garlic and cook for another 5 minutes or until the turkey is browned and the veggies have started to soften.

Add the canned tomatoes with green chilies to the pan along with the rest of the kosher salt, cumin, black pepper, and chili powder; stir well.

Add the pasta and cover with the chicken broth, then bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer, cover and cook until the pasta is just tender, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the cream and fold in the spinach and cook until the spinach wilts. Taste to see if more seasoning is needed and then top with the shredded cheese.

Garnish with chopped cilantro, sit back and enjoy!
