Preparation
1

  • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.

  • Halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Trim, peel, and finely dice carrots.

2

  • Once water is boiling, add orzo to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 7-10 minutes.

  • Reserve ¼ cup pasta cooking water (½ cup for 4 servings), then drain.

3

  • Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey*, breaking up meat into pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until turkey is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

  • Add onion, carrots, and garlic powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to become translucent, 2-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Stir in tomato paste, 1 cup water, ¼ tsp sugar (2 cups water and ½ tsp sugar for 4 servings), and stock concentrate. Cover and reduce heat to low; simmer until veggies are tender and sauce has thickened slightly, 10-12 minutes. TIP: If sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta cooking water.

  • Stir in crème fraîche. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
