In large, heavy stockpot, brown ground turkey in extra virgin olive oil, breaking up as you stir. Add onions,mushrooms, red pepper, zucchini, celery, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until onions are softened. Add garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and 2 cups water (for a long period of simmering for flavors to meld. If you don't want to simmer it as long, add less) Add basil, parsley, brown sugar, salt, cayenne pepper, ground oregano and black pepper. Stir well and barely bring to a boil. Stir in red wine. Simmer on low, stirring frequently for at least an hour. A longer simmer makes for a better sauce, just be careful not to let it burn!
