INSTRUCTIONS

1.

Preheat broiler to HIGH. Place peppers on rimmed baking sheet. Broil 6-8 minutes, turning frequently, until skin is blackened on all sides.

Heat oil in large deep skillet on medium-high heat. Add turkey, salt & pepper. Cook 8-10 minutes, or until browned while breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. Add roasted peppers, garlic, pasta and reserved cooking water. Cook 2-4 minutes until heated through.

Tasty Tips

Substitute 1 can rinsed black beans for the ground turkey to make this a vegetarian dish.

Never rinse off any small residual pieces of char from roasted peppers as it gives your dish lots of flavor.
