This spaghetti recipe with ground turkey is one of a handful of dinners that everyone in my house enjoys, especially my 2-year-old daughter. She wants this spaghetti recipe so much that before she finishes swallowing what she has in her mouth, she points to the plate and says, “more mama!”
I like how the sauce is so creamy and tasty. This recipe is great, and it tastes delicious. This spaghetti dish is very quick and easy to make.
You can enjoy this meal for lunch or dinner with a side of sweet or green plantains (tostones), garlic bread. In the Dominican Republic, they serve this dish with a side of white rice. This is the way my mom likes to serve it. We even take this dish to the beach to enjoy. My family and I love this delicious spaghetti recipe with ground turkey, which is why I want to make it all the time!
