How To Make turkey fettuccine alfredo

  • 1
    Cook pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions.
  • 2
    In a large skillet over medium heat, heat up oil. When it starts shimmering, working in batches, add prosciutto slices in a single layer and cook until crisp, about 2 minutes per side.
  • 3
    Transfer them to a cutting board or a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil and set aside while doing the other two.
  • 4
    When cool enough to handle, crumble the fried prosciutto and transfer to a small bowl until needed.
  • 5
    Add onions, season with salt and sauté until they start getting soft, about 2 minutes.
  • 6
    Add red peppers and cook for 2 minutes, before adding mushrooms; season with black pepper. Add butter and sauté for 6 minutes or until tender.
  • 7
    Add pressed garlic and quickly sauté it for only 1 minute.
  • 8
    Pour in half-and-half and chicken broth; bring the mixture to a boil. When it gets there, reduce the heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
  • 9
    Add cooked turkey; season with Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Mix well and simmer gently until the turkey is warmed through.
  • 10
    Return crumbled prosciutto and add cooked pasta.
  • 11
    Incorporate the ingredients with the mixture then add a generous handful of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix to blend before adding the remaining cheese; toss one more time.
