This Delicious and Easy Turkey and Veggie Spaghetti is a quick and easy recipe that can be made any night of the week. The ground turkey is a leaner protein option than traditional beef, and the veggies add extra fiber and nutrients to the dish. The spaghetti noodles provide the carbohydrate component of the meal, and the pre-made pasta sauce makes this dish even easier to throw together. The cinnamon adds a unique touch, giving the sauce a slightly sweet and savory flavor. This recipe is also great for meal prep or leftovers, as it reheats well for a quick lunch or dinner on-the-go.

1.Cook the vermicelli according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain.
2.Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add turkey; cook 6 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble.

4.Stir in pasta sauce and cinnamon; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
