Steps to make 20 Minute Skillet: Penne with turkey, roasted butternut squash, and spinach:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat a baking sheet with avocado oil. Add cubed squash. Season with garlic powder, thyme, paprika, pepper. Mix well and bake for 15-20 min turning midway through.. You can broil for a few minutes. I like squash to be crispy and brown.
- Meanwhile in a non stick large skillet sauté garlic and onion in avocado oil (can substitute any healthy oil you like)
- Add ground turkey to pan and brown. Season with salt and pepper
- Add spinach to mixture and a dash of garlic powder.
- Once spinach has wilted down some add the wine and chicken broth. You can alter the liquids according to preference.
- While mixture simmers on a low flame add the pasta to boiling water in another pot.
- Cook pasta (Aldente) and drain, reserving some of the pasta water to add to skillet.
- Add walnuts to baking sheet and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with kosher salt.
- Add butternut squash and nuts to turkey mixture.
- Add pasta, pasta water and about 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese to skillet. (omit cheese for a cleaner dish)
- Stir mixture and serve with freshly grated Parmesan and/or ricotta cheese (again omit for a cleaner dish)
Butternut squash is so much better roasted, though, that I think I'd forego the skillet dinner idea altogether and roast the squash separately before adding it as the recipe instructs. If needed, add a bit more broth to keep pasta loose and "brothy." Add chicken and stir to warm through. Turn heat off and stir in the spinach just until spinach is wilted. Add salt and pepper to taste, if needed. Different from the norm with turkey sausage, roasted butternut squash, balsamic vinegar, and sage..
