Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, Divided
- 1 Wild Turkey Breast
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika (can swap for Regular)
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch red pepper flakes (Optional)
- 1 Onion, Diced
- 1 tbsp Minced Garlic
- 3/4 cup Chicken Broth
- ½ cup Julienned Sun Dried Tomatoes
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 lb skillet ready fresh Cheese Tortellini
- 2 cups packed Baby Spinach
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Parsley, to garnish (Optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder , paprika and red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine.
- Cut wild turkey breast into 1 inch cubes. Place into a bowl and season with half of the seasoning mix and stir to combine.
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, add in one tablespoon of oil. Once oil is warmed, add in wild turkey and cook it until it’s browned on two sides. You will likely need to do this in two batches. Remove from the pan and set onto a plate
- In the now empty skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil then add in diced onion. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until translucent. Add in garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds
- Stir in the broth to deglaze the pan. Use your spatula to scrape up the brown bits off of the bottom. Then add back in the wild turkey and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes
- Stir in the heavy cream, sun dried tomatoes and the remaining seasoning mixture and bring to a simmer again. Once simmer, allow to simmer for 5 more minutes.
- Once simmering, reduce heat to medium low then add in tortellini and spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted and tortellini and wild turkey is fully cooked. Be careful to not overcook the wild turkey as it will become tough.
- Mix in Parmesan then serve warm with additional Parmesan over top. Garnish with fresh parsley
