Directions
1. In a non-stick skillet, cook the ground turkey until it is no longer pink. Set aside.
2. Heat the olive oil, salt and pepper (to taste) in a large pot (think dutch oven sized pot).
3. Add the onions, and allow to carmelize for a few minutes before adding the mushrooms. Sautee over medium-high heat for a few minutes.
4. Next add the bell peppers, and sautee for a few minutes more.
5. When the vegetables are crisp-tender, lower the heat a bit and add the Basil and / or Italian seasoning, the reserved cooked turkey, the crushed tomatoes, and the jar of pasta sauce. Stir and heat until it bubbles a bit, and then lower the heat to simmer the sauce and reduce the liquid a bit. Simmer for about 30 minutes on low.
6. Makes 9 cups / servings. Enjoy over whole wheat pasta with some shredded Parmesan or Asiago (NOT included in tracker!) sprinkled on top!!! :)
