Everything you love about a bowl of Nigerian pepper soup, poured over pasta. The turkey cooks with onion and seasoning, becomes a quick pepper soup broth with Poshy Foods Pepper Soup Spice, and the broth coats freshly drained spaghetti. Any protein works, and so do noodles or rice. The perfect combo to keep you warm.
Put the turkey in a pot with the onion, salt and your choice of seasoning. Boil until the turkey is tender, about 30–40 minutes for African turkey (less for chicken or fish).
Tip: Any protein works. Adjust the time to what you use.
Add 2 cups of water, or more if you want extra broth. Bring it back to the boil and let it boil for 2–3 minutes.
Stir in the Poshy Foods Pepper Soup Spice and boil for 3–5 minutes. If you like it very hot, add fresh pepper or jalapeño now.
Tip: For a milder taste, start with less spice and add more after tasting.
While the soup boils, cook the pasta in a separate pot of salted water until done. Drain off all the water.
Pour the pepper soup broth and the turkey into the pot with the drained pasta and stir until every strand is coated. Taste, and add salt if needed.
If you like, stir in spinach or scent leaf until just wilted. Serve hot, with the turkey on top.
