Creamy Turkey Pasta with Garlic & Thyme

Succulent turkey fillets, seasoned with smoky paprika and oregano, pan-seared in garlic-infused butter and olive oil, then simmered with broccoli and cauliflower in a luscious cream sauce. Served over al dente pasta and finished with a snowfall of Parmesan.

Ingredients:

For the Turkey:
✔ 400g turkey breast fillet, diced into 1.5cm cubes
✔ 1 tsp salt
✔ ½ tsp black pepper
✔ 1 tsp dried oregano
✔ 1 tsp smoked paprika
✔ 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried)
✔ 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

For the Pasta & Sauce:
✔ 250g pasta (penne, fettuccine, or fusilli)
✔ 1 tbsp olive oil
✔ 1 tbsp butter
✔ 3 garlic cloves, minced
✔ 150g frozen vegetable mix (broccoli + cauliflower florets) or fresh equivalents
✔ 200ml heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter version)
✔ 30g Parmesan, grated (plus extra for serving)
✔ Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

1️⃣ Prep the Turkey:
In a bowl, combine turkey cubes with salt, pepper, oregano, paprika, thyme, and Dijon mustard. Mix well and let marinate for 10–15 minutes at room temperature.

2️⃣ Cook the Pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta 1 minute less than package instructions for al dente texture. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain.

3️⃣ Sauté the Garlic & Turkey:
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add marinated turkey in a single layer. Sear for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

4️⃣ Cook the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add the broccoli and cauliflower. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp (if using frozen, no need to thaw).

5️⃣ Simmer the Sauce:
Return turkey to the skillet. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Simmer for 4–5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust salt/pepper to taste.

6️⃣ Combine with Pasta:
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat. If needed, add reserved pasta water 1 tbsp at a time to loosen the sauce.
