Mmmm, the Yummiest!!

Hamburger Helper. Nothing about it is really helping anything, except your taste buds. Here's a recipe that is close to the real thing...okay, maybe even better...with ingredients that didn't come straight from a box.

Turkey Taco Helper

Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground turkey
1 1/2 cup (dry) whole wheat rotini pasta
1/2 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 can diced tomatoes
3 oz reduced fat cream cheese
1/4 cup fat free sour cream
4 tbsp taco seasoning
1/2 tsp red pepper
salt & pepper to taste

Cook pasta as directed. Drain and save 1/4 cup pasta water. Set aside.



In the meantime, cook ground turkey, onions, carrots, and garlic until turkey is no longer pink.



Add diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, cream cheese, and sour cream. Add pasta and pasta water. Stir until cream cheese is melted.



DIG IN!
