Sweet and Spicy Pumpkin Turkey Pasta

Sweet and Spicy Pumpkin Turkey Pasta
  • cooking spray
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 1/4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup low-fat milk
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 (8 ounce) package rotini pasta


  1. Spray a deep skillet with cooking spray. Add onions and cook over medium heat until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add ground turkey and cook until no longer pink, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  2. Pour chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a boil. Add pumpkin puree, milk, chipotle peppers, sugar, sage, black pepper, cinnamon, coriander, pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg. Reduce to a simmer; cook until pasta ready.
  3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add 1 tablespoon salt and rotini. Cook the rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain.
  4. Stir cooked pasta into the skillet with the turkey-pumpkin sauce until evenly coated.
