This homemade spaghetti sauce is surprisingly easy to make with canned crushed tomatoes. It's so thick and delicious. Enjoy right away or use for meal prep!
1poundlean ground turkey or beef, I use 93% lean ground turkey
28ouncescanned crushed tomatoes, I prefer fire-roasted
¼cupwater
3tablespoonstomato paste
1tablespoongarlic, minced
1½teaspoondried oregano
1½teaspoondried basil
1teaspoondried parsley
1teaspoonsalt
1teaspoononion powder
½teaspoongarlic powder
½teaspoonpepper
Instructions
Add oil to a skillet on the stove top. Heat to medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, add the ground meat. Saute the meat, stirring occasionally, until browned. If your turkey or beef isn’t very lean you may want to drain the grease. (I find that isn't necessary when using 93% lean.)
Reduce heat to medium low. Add canned crushed tomatoes, water, tomato paste, garlic, oregano, basil, parsley, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper to skillet with the meat. Stir to combine. Cover and gently simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until everything is heated through and flavors have married.
Serve over your favorite pasta, spaghetti squash (see my recipe for Roasted Spaghetti Squash), or zoodles. You can even add it to the top of roasted veggies for a satisfying low carb meal!
