Large Pot or Dutch Oven

Ingredients

1.5 lbs lean ground turkey or substitute ground beef or pork if desired
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic minced
2 sweet onion diced
3 carrots chopped
32 ounces no-salt-added diced tomatoes
6 ounces no-salt-added tomato paste
2 cups no-salt-added vegetable stock
¾ cup half & half
1 cup fresh basil chopped, plus more if desired

Instructions

In a Dutch oven or large pot, begin by browning the turkey on low heat. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes until turkey is cooked all the way through. Remove from heat and transfer cooked turkey to a bowl.
In the same Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the garlic and onion, and sauté on low from 5 or 6 minutes until the veggies begin to soften.
Add the carrots, no-salt-added diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and vegetable stock. Add the cooked ground turkey back to Dutch oven and reduce on low heat for 45 minutes until sauce begins to thicken.
Finish off the sauce with the half & half and fresh basil, and stir.
Garnish with extra fresh basil and black pepper, and enjoy!
