Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

Prep Time: 30 Minutes

Cook Time: 1 Hour

Ingredients

20oz Ground Turkey 

16oz Ground Italian Turkey ( I subbed lean ground beef, hubs doesn't like Italian meat)

1 Large Sweet Onion Diced( I use frozen) 

1-2 green peppers chopped( I use frozen) 

16oz Mushrooms Chopped

3 Cloves of Garlic Minced

2-28oz Can Crushed Tomatoes (low sodium and organic if available)

1-14oz Can Tomato Sauce (low sodium and organic if available)

2 Tbsp Dried Oregano

1 Tbsp Dried Basil

1 Tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

1 Tbsp Chili Powder

1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Directions

 Go ahead and get your slow cooker set up and put the temp on high.  (Make sure it's super hot before adding the veggies) Pour your olive oil over the bottom, toss in your diced onions, and peppers and cover with the lid so they can soften and cook water out.  Stir the onions/peppers every 5 minutes or so to prevent sticking.  Once the onions/peppers start to soften add in the chopped mushrooms and garlic.  Meanwhile in a large skillet over medium heat saute all of the ground turkey/lean beef until it is cooked all the way through.  Drain the meat and add to your slow cooker.  Add in all of your spices and stir until well mixed.  Slowly pour in crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce stirring in between each can.  Cover and leave on high heat for about 1 hour until sauce is heated all the way through, taste sauce and add more spice if you'd like (if you like heat add in some cayenne spice).  Reduce heat to low until you are ready to serve. Hope y'all enjoy!!
