Anyone can make a quick, cheap pasta dish with a handful of ingredients. The secret to making a healthy yet delicious meal of famously dry ground turkey is to make sure you are bolstering the flavor with plenty of aromatics and additions. For this turkey bolognese bianco, choose a tube-shaped pasta like rigatoni. This pasta shape is perfect for filling with the delicious sauce. The ground turkey is pretty standard and can be found at any grocery store. The last main ingredient is broccoli rabe. Broccoli rabe, or rapini, is a cousin of broccoli and common in Italian cooking. It has a pleasant bitterness, though some prefer to cook that bitterness out. If you really don’t like that flavor and need to make a substitute, broccolini or just plain broccoli would work well.
In addition to the main ingredients, you’ll need some white wine for deglazing your pan, a good quality chicken broth (homemade is preferable), a shallot, a few cloves of garlic, Parmesan cheese, butter, red chile flakes, chives, parsley, and a little vegetable oil to get things going.
