Turkey Meat Sauce for Spaghetti Preparation

Heat olive oil in dutch oven. When hot, add garlic and saute for about 30-40 seconds. Add onion and saute until it begins to get tender (about 2 minutes). Add celery and carrot and saute for 2 minutes. Now add turkey and saute until cooked. Add spices (parsley, basil, and oregano) and toss into meat/vegetable mixture. Pour in wine, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat, cover, and steam for 45 seconds. Remove lid and add tomato sauce, tomato paste, and enough water to give the sauce a smooth but slightly thin consistency. Simmer uncovered for 1 hour (or longer – but you may have to add water periodically). Serve on the pasta of your choice. Also makes a good lasagna meat sauce. Variations: Add 1 t crushed red pepper to spice up the sauce. Sqeeze in the juice of half a lemon for a more tangy sauce. Add some fennel if you like the anise-like flavor. Use Spanish red-pepper olive oil for part of the olive oil (spicy!). Instead of using chopped garlic, take 2-3 heads of garlic and lightly brown the whole peeled cloves in olive oil, remove, then return to the pot with the rest of the sauce before simmering 1 hour. Omit the ground turkey for a vegetarian sauce (though add more celery and carrot). Use some sauteed chicken breast chunks (about 1 ) in place of turkey. Make the sauce without any turkey, store away in the freezer, then use as a basic sauce for cooking meats like: sausage, cut-up rabbit pieces, pour over baked fish, etc. by LSHW <shusky@erols.com> on Feb 18, 1998
