Ingredients

Scale
  • 18 oz cheese-stuffed tortellini
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 6 oz diced turkey strips
  • 2 cloves minced garlic (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper and salt (to taste)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and parmesan cheese until smooth. Set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, cook turkey strips over medium heat until crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Add minced garlic the last minute if using.
  4. Add drained tortellini to the skillet with turkey strips. Pour egg mixture over the pasta, stirring constantly to prevent curdling, adding reserved pasta water as needed for desired consistency.
  5. Season with black pepper and salt to taste; garnish with extra parmesan and parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
