Heart Friendly Spaghetti Sauce image

I found this on a diabetic website awhile back. As my DH refuses to touch that looks like it might be healthy I froze the remaining sauce in 5 small zip bags. It freezes very well and is handy to have in serving sizes. I just defrost them in the micro. It's tasty as well as handy which is always a good thing.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb lean ground turkey
1 medium onion, 6 ounces (240 g)
1 medium carrot, 4 ounces (120 g)
1 medium celery rib, 3 ounces (90 g)
1 medium zucchini, 6 ounces (240 g)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tablespoon crushed dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon crushed dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
28 ounces no-salt-added Italian-style tomatoes, in puree (820 g)
14 1/2 ounces no-salt-added diced tomatoes, with juice (435 g)
1/2 cup water (120 ml)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, crumble the turkey and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until turkey is white throughout. Drain off all fat.
