Turkey Puttanesca
Original puttanesca includes anchovy fillets, but guess what? This one doesn't! That's why I opted for turkey!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 can chopped tomatoes
- ½ cup tomato sauce
- 15-20 black olives
- 18 oz ground turkey (510 grams or 1.12 pounds)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp parsley
- dash of pepper
- dash of Cayenne pepper
- chili flakes to taste
Instructions
- Cut the vegetables in small pieces and heat up the olive oil in one deep dish. Saute garlic and onion for about 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, chop the black olives into smaller pieces. If they have pits inside, remove them carefully.
- Turkey should be seasoned with some salt, pepper, chili flakes and parsley. When onion and garlic start getting brownish edges, add seasoned turkey.
- Cook for 5 minutes while slowly stirring. Now add one can of chopped tomatoes and half of the cup of tomato sauce. Add a little bit more chili flakes, salt and pepper. Cook for another 8-10 minutes. Remember to stir it once in a while.
- Now add olives to the meat sauce. Stir well.
- Serve with some grated hard cheese on top.
