Comfort of Meat Sauce

There is something to be said about a really good meat sauce. I have found that it is all about the building of flavors to really make something truly of quality. I just love that the flavors in the sauce build over the week and this can easily be used as traditional meat sauce, added to a baked pasta dish smothered in cheese, or as a version of a sloppy joe. Every now and then, I crave the popping flavors of a spicy meat sauce and I love that this is a dish that is easy to freeze and pull out as needed. Check out the recipe below!

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground turkey 

14.5 oz diced tomato

14.5 oz tomato sauce

1.5 cups diced onion

2 tbsp minced garlic

1 cup diced bell pepper
