Amazing Ground Turkey Tomato Sauce

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 white onion, chopped
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 6 basil leaves, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (20 ounce) package ground turkey
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon oregano
• 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 1/2 (6 ounce) can tomato paste, or to taste
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion, tomato, basil, and garlic in hot oil until the onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes.

Break ground turkey into small pieces and add to pot; season with Italian seasoning and oregano. Cook and stir mixture until turkey is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes.

Stir tomato sauce into the turkey mixture; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, 20 to 25 minutes.

Stir tomato paste into the turkey mixture until evenly colored; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the liquid is reheated, 1 to 2 minutes more.
