My Fresh Tomato Sauce (see recipe)

Ground Turkey “Meat Sauce” with Fresh Tomato Sauce

Ingredients

1  ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 pound ground turkey (lean not white meat)

½ cup sweet onions, peeled and chopped medium- fine 

¼ shallots, peeled and chopped medium- fine

1 tablespoon fresh garlic, peeled and minced

a pinch or two cayenne pepper

½ teaspoon pure cane sugar 

½ teaspoon Italian seasonings

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 cup Fresh Tomato Sauce (see recipe)

Instructions

1

Heat 12″ a cast-iron skillet (or you favorite skillet) with the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the ground turkey and breakup with a wooden spoon as you sauté.
Let brown, stir up from time to time, about 5 minutes – will not be all cooked through.
Add onions, shallots and garlic, stir up and let them cook with the turkey, stirring a few minutes. Add cayenne pepper, sugar, Italian seasonings and tomato paste and stir until combined. Add the tomato sauce, stir in and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over low heat 20 minutes. Add salt, add more if necessary.

2

Add al dente pasta to the skillet and stir to combine. (I’ve used Barilla Gluten Free Linguine.)
Enough sauce for one pound of pasta. (Sometimes I use less pasta… really like having a lot of sauce!)

3

Serve in a large bowl or individual bowls. Top with basil leaves and grated parmigiano reggiano.

4

Feel free to use ground beef in the recipe as well.

In the photo, I have added some Dehydrated Heirloom Tomatoes (see recipe!)
