Meatsauce is one of those go-to meals that I always make when I feel uninspired. It is quick, easy and delicious. I adapted this recipe from my mom's, which features ground beef rather than turkey. It is good with either one, and tastes great served over pasta or in dishes such as lasagna or baked ziti. The recipe below makes about 7 cups, at 2 points per 1/2 cup serving.
Ingredients
1 28oz can crushed tomatoes
2 14oz cans Italian-style stewed tomatoes, pureed smooth (you can either use an immersion blender or throw them into a food processor. For those who like a chunkier sauce, just run your knife through the whole tomato pieces)
2 tbs tomato paste
1 onion, chopped
20 oz 93% lean ground turkey
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbs dried basil
salt/pepper to taste
Spray the bottom of a big pot with PAM. Over medium-high heat, saute onion until they begin to appear translucent.
Add turkey and saute until all the pink is gone. Drain any excess fat from the pan (I usually push all of the turkey to one side and then tip the pot the opposite way so all the fat pools to the side. With a paper towel, I soak up the excess liquid).
Stir in tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients. Simmer over low heat for up to 1 hour, stiring occasionally.
Healthy meals to nourish your mind.
