Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon sage
  • pinch of nutmeg (optional, but recommended!)
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ can pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup water
  • 5 oz shredded parmesan cheese (plus more for garnish)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Melt half of your butter in a hot skillet. Add your ground turkey and brown it, season it with salt and pepper. After the meat is cooked thru, set aside. 
  • To the skillet, add your remaining butter. Add in your garlic, and toast until fragrant, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn. Add in your sage, rosemary, and nutmeg. Add in the heavy cream and pumpkin puree. Stir until mixed, then stir in your water slowly until it reaches your desired consistency.    
  • Next add in your shredded parmesan cheese, reserving some for topping. Stir frequently over medium heat until all the cheese is melted.  Now, add back in the ground turkey. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste (if necessary).
  • Serve with noodles or noodle replacement of choice, garnish with parmesan cheese and rosemary. Enjoy!
