Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 carrot grated
  • 1 celery stalk finely chopped
  • 1 can 14 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken or veggie broth
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan optional

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion, carrot, and celery; cook 5 minutes until soft.
  2. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Push veggies to the side and add turkey. Break it up and cook until no pink remains, about 6–8 minutes.
  3. Stir in tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and add more salt if needed.
  5. Cool, portion into freezer bags flat, and label with date. To reheat, thaw overnight in fridge and warm on stove or microwave.
