Description

Imagine tender ravioli, but with a delightful twist. Thin slices of deli turkey replace traditional pasta, creating a satisfyingly savory envelope for a creamy, flavorful filling. These aren't your typical heavy, carb-laden ravioli; they're a lighter, equally delicious take on a classic comfort food.

Picture biting into the delicate turkey, yielding to a soft, cheesy center brightened with fragrant basil. The possibilities are endless; the choice of turkey is yours – perhaps a subtly smoky variety, one with a hint of spice, or even one infused with aromatic Italian herbs. These unique ravioli are then generously bathed in a luscious creamy tomato sauce, its richness perfectly complementing the savory turkey and cheese.

The entire dish is then blanketed with a generous layer of parmesan cheese and gently toasted until it achieves a beautiful golden-brown finish, the cheese bubbling and slightly crisp. The aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water. For those who love to experiment, the filling can be easily customized.

Imagine the addition of freshly chopped spinach for a boost of nutrition and a subtle earthy note. Or, for a deeper, sweeter flavor, try incorporating caramelized onions, ensuring they're well-drained to maintain the filling's perfect consistency. Sautéed mushrooms, cooked until tender and fragrant in butter, would also make a wonderful addition.

Feel free to explore different cheese combinations as well. While mozzarella provides a classic creamy base, consider other options that melt well and complement the other flavors. The key is to create a filling that is both flavorful and cohesive, holding its shape within the turkey "pasta.

" The final toasting step is crucial, melding all the flavors together and creating a delightful textural contrast between the soft ravioli and the crispy, golden-brown cheese topping. Whether you use an oven-safe skillet or a baking dish, the result is a warm, comforting dish that is perfect for a cozy night in or a special family gathering.

Instructions

    1.
    Make the ravioli filling by mixing the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, salt, pepper, and minced basil in a mixing bowl. Mix and fold together until you have a creamy, consistent filling. Arrange the turkey slices laid out flat. Fill the center of each turkey slice with about 1 tablespoons of cheese filling. Fold each edge of the turkey slice over the filling to make a little square ravioli. Flip the folded ravioli over to lay it over its seam.
    2.
    Melt the butter in a wide oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once melted, place the ravioli in the butter one at a time, seam-side down. Let the ravioli fry undisturbed in the butter for 4-5 minutes. You may adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning, but you want the toasted side of the ravioli to have a golden brown color. Use a spatula to gently transfer the toasted ravioli to a clean surface to rest temporarily.
    3.
    Return the skillet to your stove, leaving any excess fat in it. Over low heat, add the olive oil, tomato paste, and garlic to the skillet. Stir the tomato paste around until it heats through the turns soft in the hot fats. Stir the broth into the skillet, followed by the heavy cream. Stir until you have a thick and creamy tomato sauce bubbling over low heat. Season the sauce with just pinches of salt, pepper, and onion powder. If you ve increased the recipe yield, you can add teaspoon of those spices to the sauce.
    4.
    Keep the stove heat on low and turn your oven broiler on to high heat. Use your spatula to return the toasted turkey ravioli to the skillet full of tomato sauce. Nestle the ravioli in the sauce and you can even spoon a little sauce over each ravioli. Take the full skillet off the stove and sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the whole skillet. Place the skillet in your oven and leave it under the broiler for 4-5 minutes. Watch for the parmesan to turn lightly golden and the sauce around the edges of the skillet should bubble and brown. Serve hot, family-style!
