Recipe: Healthy Red Meat Sauce

August 3, 2016 matt 2 Comments

This is one of the easiest red sauces I’ve ever done. I use ground turkey as the base and then add Italian turkey sausage. If you can’t find the sausage, you can use a package of regular Italian sausage. It really makes the “Italian” flavor to me because it has lots of basil, fennel seed, spices, etc. Get some. When we made this up, we had a few people over for dinner and I roasted some spaghetti squash for the non-carb types and boiled some pasta for the carb mongers.

Here’s the recipe:

2lb package of ground turkey

1 package of Italian turkey sausage

1 large onion, chopped fine

6 cloves of garlic, chopped fine

Fresh basil, chopped fine

Salt and pepper to taste

Red pepper flakes to your level of tolerance

Spaghetti squash, roasted and shredded

1 package pasta of your choice, boiled and drained

2 jars commercial red sauce (if you like your sauce meatier, use 1 to 1 ½ jars of sauce)

Grated parmesan cheese (don’t skimp on the canned parm, get the good fresh stuff)

Method:

Squeeze the sausage from the casing into a large saute pan. Chop it up with a spatula and add the ground turkey while you’re doing this. Mix it all up well as it browns. Drain off the fat when it’s almost completely browned. Now add the chopped onion and saute until it starts to get translucent. Now add the garlic. Season with the salt, pepper, pepper flakes and basil. Taste it…is it good? Correct any seasonings and then add the sauce. Let it all simmer together for a bit. Finish it with the basil.

Serve it over either the spaghetti squash or the pasta, top with parmesan and fresh basil.

Open yourself some good Sangiovese, Barbera, or whatever your favorite red it. Enjoy!

Food, Paleo

    Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Ie. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Kudos|

About Me

I’m a 40-something year old new mom who happens to be somewhat addicted to working out and imperfectly “eating healthy”. This is my safe place to share my journey…and give you a little insight into what goes on inside this mostly-sane brain.

Not enough scoop on me? Well, I love the ocean, sushi, chocolate cake and wine (not necessarily in that order or all together). I partake in the occasional cigar with my handsome, loving, and opinionated husband. We had a pretty awesome baby boy named Samuel Liberty, aka Sammy on October 12, 2012 and are enjoying the crazy, challenging, incredible journey of life with a new little being in our house!
