Healthy Ground Turkey Tomato Sauce
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 white onion, chopped
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 6 basil leaves, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (20 ounce) package ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 1/2 (6 ounce) can tomato paste, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Initiate the cooking process by warming olive oil in a substantial container over an elevated heat setting. Add a medley of onion, tomato, basil, and garlic to the pot, stirring until the onion starts to become translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
2
Proceed by fragmenting ground turkey into smaller components and incorporating them into the pot. Introduce Italian seasoning and oregano to enhance the flavor, then cook and stir until the turkey is thoroughly browned, spanning 7 to 10 minutes.
3
Introduce tomato sauce into the mixture and bring it to a rolling boil. Gradually lower the heat to a low setting, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly over 20 to 25 minutes.
4
Add a concentrated tomato paste to the mixture, ensuring an even color distribution. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then continue cooking for 1 to 2 additional minutes.
