Servings: persons

1 pound lean ground turkey
2 cans crushed tomatoes
1 red bell pepper diced
1 green bell pepper diced
1 onion small, diced
1 carrot cut into thin rounds
2 stalks celery sliced thin
5 cloves garlic sliced
1 tablespoon oregano
olive oil
salt
pepper

1
With your pot over medium heat, add in a few Tbsp of olive oil. Toss in all the veggies, oregano, salt and pepper.
2
Saute until the veggies have softened a bit and started to caramelize. This will take about 8-10 mins.
3
Next, using a spoon, move the veggies to the sides of the pot making a void in the center. Add in the ground turkey and break it up with the spoon being sure to scrap up all the brown bits from the veggies, its amazing flavor!
4
Once the meat is slightly cooked, go ahead and mix it in with the veggies. Allow it to cook another 5 minutes or so.
5
Add in the cans of tomatoes. Again season with salt and pepper. Allow to simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. I served this delicious pasta with a hunk of cheesy garlic bread! YUM!
