Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil
½ white onion, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
6 basil leaves, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (20 ounce) package ground turkey
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon oregano
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
½ (6 ounce) can tomato paste, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, tomato, basil, and garlic; sauté until onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes.
Break ground turkey into small pieces and add to the pot; season with Italian seasoning and oregano. Cook and stir until turkey is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
Stir in tomato sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until sauce has thickened slightly, 20 to 25 minutes.
Stir in tomato paste until mixture is evenly colored; season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 to 2 more minutes.

Recipe Tip

Add more tomato paste to thicken the sauce, or use less if you like it thinner.
