Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

Keep in mind, I'm a "throw it together and hope it works" kind of girl. This means that sometimes I forget to measure my portions, or sometimes I may realize it needs something once I've done it. That's how this spaghetti sauce came to existence last night so all of the ingredients would be "to taste".

See below for options...

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 Tbs olive oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 green pepper, chopped
• 4 oz baby bella mushrooms, chopped
• 1 can (organic) diced tomatoes, Italian style
• 3 regular cans of diced tomatoes or 1 can crushed tomatoes-all organic (My daughter likes her sauce more smooth than chunky so I throw this in the blender so that it has that texture.)
• 1 can (organic) tomato paste 
• 2 Tbs basil
• 2 Tbs oregano
• 2 Tbs minced garlic
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp coconut palm (if you're not going organic, you can use reg sugar, preferably brown)
• salt and pepper to taste 

Directions

1. Heat olive oil on medium heat.
2. Add onions and peppers, sauté until tender.
3. Add mushrooms and cook for another minute.
4. Add turkey and cook until browned.
5. Add remaining ingredients, and bring to bubble.
6. Immediately reduce heat and let simmer for 30 or more minutes.

*I use Quinoa noodles (wheat and gluten free option). They are honestly good.
**Sometimes I want to do something other than turkey so I do a chicken and shrimp spaghetti, and it's YUMMY. Just replace the turkey with chicken. Add the shrimp last because it won't take long for them to cook.
