Ground turkey, a caramelized onion and half a jar of marinara — one pan, about twenty minutes. It goes over pasta, rice or spaghetti squash equally well.
The garlic goes in twice, and that is deliberate. Whole cloves cook alongside the onions for the full ten minutes and turn sweet; the minced garlic goes in at the end and stays sharp. Each one does a different job and the dish wants both.
Heat oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. Add onions and full garlic cloves. Cook until onions are caramelized (about 10 minutes).
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Add in the ground turkey/chicken.
Season with salt and pepper.
Mix until cooked through while breaking the meat into small crumbles.
Stir in the sauce.
Sprinkle with red pepper and stir to combine.
