Ingredients
3
pounds
ground turkey
3
large cans
796ml diced tomatoes
2
small cans
156ml tomato paste - if you like a thinner sauce, use only 1 can.
1
cup
diced onion
3
garlic cloves
minced
1
cup
finely diced or grated carrots
1 - 1.5
cups
finely diced or grated zucchini
1
tablespoon
granulated garlic
2
tablespoons
Italian seasoning
2
tablespoons
sugar
1
teaspoon
salt
1
teaspoon
red pepper flakes
1
tablespoon
balsamic vinegar
1
cup
water
pepper to taste
Instructions
In a LARGE stock pot, brown the ground turkey until no longer pink.
In the last minute of cooking, add the onion and garlic. Saute for 2-3 minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients and turn up the heat until you reach a boil.
As soon as you get a boil, turn down the heat to low (or the bottom will burn).
Let simmer for a minimum of one hour, with the lid on.
If the sauce is not thick to your preference after the hour, take the lid off and let it reduce down.
Let sauce cool completely before storing in the freezer.
Notes
This recipe doesn't work well in the instant pot. It is too thick, and it burns.
