serves 4
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped or minced
1 lb lean ground turkey (optional)
4 cups very ripe grape, cherry, or chopped tomato
1/4 cup tomato paste
6 leaves fresh basil
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
pinch nutmeg
salt & pepper to taste
- saute onion with garlic cloves over medium-low heat until tender
- If you are using turkey, add the ground turkey (thawed or frozen), cover, and simmer. Stir occasionally until done to break up the turkey into manageable chunks
- add grape tomatoes and begin cooking down, covered
- once tomatoes begin to soften, break with the back of a fork (chopping ahead is an option as well but not as much fun)
- stir in tomato paste and cook until bubbling
- add herbs and seasoning, cover, and let simmer for up to an hour
- taste before serving and adjust seasoning as required
Enjoy!
