An traditional Italian cook might look at this and call me an amateur but this is how I make “turkey sauce” in my house and my kids eat it through the week. It comes in handy on busy weeknights. I toss it over pasta for them, or zucchini for me. This saves really well and you can load up the turkey to make this really protein rich. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 lb lean ground turkey
- 1/2 white onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 2 – 14oz cans of tomato sauce
- 1 – 15oz can of diced tomatoes
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- pinch pf coconut sugar
Directions:
In a deep pot, heat oil, onions and garlic until onion become translucent and garlic is fragrant. Add turkey, dice up with a flat wooden spoon, cooking until browned. Add chili power, mix well. Stir in all tomatoes, tomato sauce, dried herbs, salt and pepper and simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes. Add coconut sugar to taste.
