Calories 213kcal
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.
