Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, chopped tomato, basil, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
02
StepAdd the ground turkey to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon. Season with Italian seasoning and oregano. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is fully browned and cooked through, approximately 7-10 minutes.
03
StepPour in the crushed tomato sauce and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly, for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
04
StepStir in the tomato paste until the sauce is rich and evenly colored. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together perfectly.
