- 1 jar (28oz/ 790g) Raos marinara sauce or your favorite marinara sauce

- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 12 oz (340g) dry pasta (I used brown rice farfalle)

Instructions
- Crush and mince the garlic, and finely dice the onion and mushrooms. Add the garlic, onion, mushrooms, and olive oil to a large frying pan.
- Place the pan on the stove and turn the stove on to medium heat. Sauté the garlic, onions, and mushrooms until the onions become soft and translucent. Stir occasionally.
- Add the ground turkey to the pan and brown, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Pour the marinara sauce into the pan, followed by the parmesan and milk.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for approximately 15 minutes.
- While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water according to the instructions on the packet. Drain and pour the pasta back into the pot.
- Spoon the sauce over the pasta and stir to combine. (You should have more sauce than you need).
- Top the pasta with shredded basil and serve.
