Introduction

I built on a previously submitted recipe to add frozen spinach and bell peppers to make it a little healthier.

I don't exactly measure ingredients, so please season to taste. I also added a lot of dried crushed red pepper to make up for less salt.

You can eliminate the Parmesan to save on sodium. I built on a previously submitted recipe to add frozen spinach and bell peppers to make it a little healthier.

Ingredients

    2 pound package ground turkey

    basil, oregano and dried red pepper flakes
    garlic to taste
    a couple of pinches of salt
    1 cup Parmesan cheese added to the sauce
    1 package whole wheat angel hair pasta

Directions

Slowly brown the ground turkey - if you do it slowly, you won't need to add oil at all.

Cover and simmer slowly until veggies are thawed.

Add crushed tomatoes and stir well

Add water leaving sauce on simmer until sauce reduces to your desired consistancy. Taste and adjust seasonings.
