Ingredients

  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 3/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 24 ounces tomato sauce
  • 2 cups water
  • 8 ounces spaghetti broken in half

Instructions

Press sauté on the Instant Pot. When hot add the turkey, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and oregano and cook, breaking up about 5 minutes.
Add the onions, and garlic and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
If there is any browning on the bottom of the pot, add 2 tbsp water and deglaze to avoid the burn notice.
Add the tomato sauce, water and spaghetti (broken in half), making sure the liquid covers everything without stirring.
Cover and cook on high pressure 9 minutes.
Quick release so the pasta doesn’t continue cooking, and serve topped with grated cheese if desired!
