Ingredients

6 cups fresh tomato, diced

8 oz Carolina ground turkey

8 oz 93% lean ground beef

2 cup diced onion

1-1/2 cup chopped green pepper

1-1/2 cup diced zucchini

2 c chopped yellow/crookneck squash

16 oz fresh sliced mushrooms

1-6 oz can Hunts No Salt Added tomato paste

2 cup burgundy wine

1 Tbsp garlic powder

1/2 Tbsp cracked black pepper (or to taste)

1 Tbsp oregano

1/2 Tbsp dried basil

1 Tbsp dry Italian Seasoning

Directions

Brown meat. I like mine very fine, so I put them through the food processor after browning. Put meat in slow cooker. In pan with reserved drippings heat onion, bell pepper and garlic until just looses firmness. Add to slow cooker. Add tomato paste, stir. Cook on low 4 - 6 hours.
Stir, add burgundy wine. Cook on low additional 1-2 hours.
Makes about 3 quarts. Serving size about 2 cups.
Serve over hot noodles or rice.

*Can also be cooked for an hour in pan or in oven on 350* for about 2 hours. The longer it cookes, the more flavorful it will be. IF YOU COOK IN THE OVEN, stir and check heat. Spray whatever you cook this in with non-stick - including the lid ;)
I cooked it on low for 18 hours this last time and Mmm! SO GOOD!
