1 pound penne or fettuccine pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground Turkey
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 shallots, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 leeks, sliced
1 lemon
A handful of flat-leaf parsley leaves
Freshly-grated parmesan cheese, for serving
For the breadcrumbs
6 tablespoons fresh breadcrumbs
A handful of sage leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons of butter
Directions
Bring a stockpot of salted water to a boil so it'd be ready for the pasta. Add in pasta and cook according to package.
Put the olive oil in a hot skillet and sauté the shallots and leeks for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the ground turkey and sauté until the turkey is no longer pink. Add the cream and simmer.
In a separate 8in skillet, add 2 tablespoons butter and let melt and then add the breadcrumbs and sage. Sauté until it’s bubbling, then remove it from the heat. Add in a handful of chopped parsley and mix.
Once the pasta is cooked, add it directly to the sauce and mix. Add some grated lemon zest, breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
