Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey meat

2 lg cans of tomato sauce

1 lg can of tomato paste

1 package spaghetti seasoned mix

1 onion, chopped

3 garlic cloves

1 can sliced black olives

1 small bag of pine nuts (optional)

pepper

salt

all season salt

ground ginger

parsley flakes

2 bay leaves (remove when done cooking)

package small of spaghetti pasta

oregeno

basil

(I use all of these seasonings to taste. I don't measure how much I use of any of them. I add more of some and less of others)

Preparation

In a skillet brown the ground turkey meat. Fry in pan until cooked through. In a crockpot add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, chopped onions, pine nuts, garlic cloves all seasonings/herbs and mix together.

When ground turkey is cooked through, add to the spaghetti sauce and let it cook for the day on low heat (mixing throughout the day - if possible). Add more seasonings if needed.

When ready to eat, just cook your pasta until tender and add the sauce. Add some shredded parmesan cheese and eat with your favorite bread.

This recipe won't disappoint. This is great for large gatherings or when you want a meal with plenty of leftovers.
