A mound of long, thin strands of white 'spaghetti' made from whipped cream cheese adorns the plate, interwoven with 'meatballs' of finely crumbled, perfectly browed ground turkey. 'Tomato sauce' made from a savory roasted red pepper coulis drizzles over the top, while 'parmesan cheese,' secretly ground almonds, lightly dusts the dish. Rounded off with a sprig of fresh mint that doubles as 'basil'.

This April Fools' Day, trick your taste buds with a dessert-in-disguise savory dish that looks visually scrumptious but tastes completely unexpected! Our star ingredient is ground turkey, which we'll skillfully transform into a deceivingly sweet and visually dazzling 'Spaghetti Ice Cream'.

Ingredients (for 4)

Ground turkey - 1 lb - sautéed till brown
Fresh red bell peppers - 2 - roasted and pureed
Cream cheese - 8 oz - whipped
Ground almonds - 1/2 cup
Sprigs of fresh mint - 4
Salt - to taste
Black pepper - to taste
Olive oil - 2 tbsp

Preparation

Step 1 - 🍳🦃🧂

In a frying pan, sauté 1 lb of ground turkey with a sprinkle of salt and black pepper till brown. Then, set them aside for later.
Step 2 - 🌶️🔥🌡️

Roast 2 red bell peppers in the oven until their skins are completely wrinkled. After cooling, peel off the skin, remove seeds and blend them in a food processor until smooth.
Step 3 - 🧀🍝🥣

Whip 8 oz of cream cheese until it becomes light and fluffy. Use a piping bag with a small round nozzle to squeeze it into 'spaghetti' strands on the plate.
Step 4 - 🍽️🦃🥫

Crumble the cooked turkey meat into small pieces to mimic meatballs, and scatter over the 'spaghetti'. Drizzle the red pepper 'sauce' over the top.
Step 5 - 🧀🌿🍽️

Sprinkle 1/2 cup of ground almonds over the dish just like parmesan cheese. Place 4 sprigs of fresh mint to mimic basil and serve.
