Spaghetti With Spicy Italian Meat Sauce
3/4 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped green peppers
2 tbsp snipped fresh parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 oz ground turkey sausage
8 oz ground turkey breast, see * Note
1 can tomatoes with juices - (28 oz), cut up
1 can tomato sauce - (8 oz)
1 can tomato paste - (6 oz)
1 1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1/8 tsp ground red pepper
1 bay leaf
12 oz spaghetti
Parmesan cheese, (optional)


* Note: To make sure you're buying the leanest ground turkey available,
check the label. Look for products made with only turkey breast meat.
Many ground turkey products contain the dark meat and the fatty skin.
Lightly spray a 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven with olive oil no-stick
spray. Add the mushrooms, onions, celery, green peppers, parsley and
garlic. Cook and stir about 5 minutes over medium heat or until the
vegetables are tender. Add the turkey sausage and turkey breast. Cook
about 5 minutes or until no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Stir in the tomatoes (with
juices), tomato sauce, tomato paste, basil, salt, oregano, paprika, crushed
and ground red peppers and bay leaf. Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the
heat to low. Cover and gently simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
Before serving, cook the pasta according to the directions on the package
and drain. Remove and discard the bay leaf from the meat mixture. Serve
the meat mixture on top of the spaghetti.
This recipe yields 6 servings.
Comments: Here is an old-fashioned, slow-cooking spaghetti sauce that is
well worth the wait as it simmers. It is great to make on a weekend, when
you have more time to cook, or to put in a crockpot in the morning before
you go to work.
