Skillet Ground Turkey Pasta
Ground turkey cooked with garlic and canned tomatoes, then pasta simmered right in the sauce in the same skillet so it absorbs all the flavor. Everything in one pan, pasta cooks in the sauce, done in 30 minutes. This is the kind of recipe you stop thinking about after the third time you make it because it just runs on autopilot.

Parent noteGround turkey is mild enough for most kids, and the tomato sauce is the only real flavor here -- no heat, no bitterness. Finish with a handful of parmesan.
