Platinum Chef

This is one of the classic platinum chef recipes. Relatively easy, and good for a few meals.

Ingredients, Sauce

• 1 Jar of marinara sauce (e.g. Trader Joe’s Organic Marinara)
• Fresh garlic
• Chopped 1 green bell pepper, 1 red bell pepper
• 1lb - 1.5lbs of ground turkey
• Seasoning salt
• Crushed red pepper flakes

Ingredients, Spaghetti

• Wheat thin spaghetti
• Kosher salt

Directions

For the sauce, first brown the ground turkey with some seasoning salt in a saucepan until high heat. The salt will contribute to the meat’s taste. When the ground turkey is fully cooked, I usually drain out some of the juices that escaped from the sauce cause it’s fatty. But leaving the sauce in will make the sauce taste better.

Next, add garlic, bell peppers, and sauce to the meat. At this point, turn the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for at least 1 hour. This will allow the sauce to fully infuse into the ground turkey meat. The red pepper flakes is optional, but adding a small amounts of it will “kick up the flavor”, alot.

For the spaghetti, I usually use thin wheat spaghetti because it’s made with whole grains and quick to cook. But feel free to use any type of paste of your preference.
