Transform a few pantry staplesplus a head of broccoli and lean ground turkeyinto a hearty, healthy weeknight dinner.
Serve with extra crushed red pepper at the table (for those who like a little extra heat).
Its name means “little ears”, which gives you a hint as to this pasta’s shape.

But if your pantry (or grocer) is orecchiette-free, pasta of any shape makes an adequate substitute.
Drain and return pasta and broccoli to the pot.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Toss the turkey mixture with pasta and broccoli and the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.
