Materials

1 pound lean ground turkey, 93/7 uncooked
1 medium yellow onion chopped
2-3 cloves garlic minced
1-28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
1-14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes (I use fire roasted)
2 cups beef low sodium beef broth chicken or vegetable works fine too
8 ounce spaghetti dry
3 tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1-1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
a pinch red pepper flakes
Instructions

In a large pot with lid add ground turkey and break apart. When the turkey is mostly broken up add chopped onions, minced garlic, some kosher salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Continue to cook until meat is cooked and onions and garlic are soft.
Add crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, basil, oregano, pinch of red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir together well and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer. Add dry spaghetti noodles to pot and press down on them enough so the sauce covers them. Cover with lid and continue to cook for 10-12 minutes or until noodles are cooked stirring every once and awhile.
Mix together well, salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with some fresh parsley, basil, and parmesan! Enjoy!
