Ingredients

• 2 28-ounce cans of diced tomatoes
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 4 crushed garlic cloves
• 1 cup diced white onions
• 1 tbsp fresh basil
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1/2 cup of cooking wine of choice
• 1 tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp of dried pepper flakes
• 1 tsp sugar (optional)

How to make the Tomato Sauce:

1. In a large heavy bottomed pot, pour in the olive oil, chopped white onions, herbs, and spices.
2. Heat the burner to medium heat and cook until onions are almost translucent.
3. Add in the white wine and cook for about 1 minute to burn off the alcohol.
4. Next, add the 1 lb of turkey ground and break apart with a wooden spoon.
5. Cook the meat for about 5-10 minutes until fully done.
6. Once cooked, add in your diced tomatoes and stir to fully combine.
7. Turn the heat down to allow the tomato sauce to simmer.
8. At this point, you can add any meatballs and/or spare ribs to the sauce to help flavour even further.
9. Cook for 1-3 hours depending on your preferred taste. The longer the tomato sauce is cooked the less acidic and sweeter the sauce will taste.
10. After 1-3 hours, remove the sauce from heat and add any reserved herbs of choice.
11. You can add parmesan cheese and 1 tbsp of butter for flavour (optional).
12. Serve your sauce with this pasta recipe.
13. The sauce can be refrigerated for 3-4 days and frozen for up to 3-4 months.
