To turn this Ground Turkey Spaghetti Sauce into a feast for your taste buds and fitness goals, I’ve jazzed it up with lean ground turkey, a medley of colorful veggies, and a symphony of mouthwatering Italian flavors. It’s not just good-smelling; it’s good-for-you too!

Ingredients for the Culinary Dance: Servings: 16

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
  • 1 yellow onion, minced
  • 1 Fennel Bulb, minced
  • 3 zucchinis, diced
  • 2 pounds Lean Ground Turkey
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 (6 oz) cans tomato paste
  • 2 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon coconut palm sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning blend
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

The Culinary Symphony:

  1. Heat up the kitchen dance floor by placing an extra-large nonstick skillet or a saucepan over medium heat. Let the olive oil warm up for 3 minutes, creating the perfect stage for the culinary show.
  2. Throw in the garlic, onion, and fennel bulb – watch them sauté and groove for 5 minutes until the onion is tender. Add the zucchini to keep the dance party going for another 5 minutes.
  3. It’s time to introduce the lean ground turkey to the dance floor. Stir, shimmy, and break apart the turkey until all the pink is gone. Drain the pan, but don’t let the rhythm stop – return to medium heat.
  4. Cue the crescendo! Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and tomato sauce. Mix it up until they’re all dancing in perfect harmony. Add water, coconut sugar, basil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes – a culinary slow dance that infuses flavors.
  5. The grand finale! Serve this hearty sauce over braised cabbage, veggie noodles, baked sweet potato – the choice is yours. Your taste buds are about to embark on a flavorful journey!
