Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion chopped to small pieces
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 tsp oregano
- 28 oz crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 cup water or white wine, chicken stock, or veggie stock
Instructions
- Prep your onion by chopping into small pieces.
- Heat the skillet to high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add onions to pan.
- Once the oil starts sizzling, reduce the heat to medium high. Use a spatula to mix the onion with the olive oil. Cook, stirring every minute, until onion starts to brown. This will take about 4 minutes.
- At this point, add the ground turkey. Use a spatula to break up the meat and mix it with the onions. Cook meat and onions, stirring every minute, until turkey is fully cooked- about 10 minutes total.
- Add the garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano to the pan. Stir to mix everything together. You'll start to smell the garlic cooking.
- Pour in water and crushed tomatoes. Mix the sauce until all liquid is incorporated. Once sauce starts simmering, reduce the heat to low and heat for 5 minutes. Add more salt to taste, if desired.
- Then turn off the heat and portion the sauce out to serve. It's delicious mixed with a bowl of pasta.
