Ingredients:

• 1 pound lean ground turkey or 90%> lean ground beef
• 8 large tomatoes
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 small green pepper, chopped
• Fresh button mushrooms (if you like)
• 2 Tablespoons minced garlic or 2 cloves, crushed
• 2 Tablespoons Italian seasoning
• ¼ tsp Red pepper flakes
• ½ cup water

Directions:

1. Brown turkey or ground beef, add garlic powder while cooking meat for more flavorful sauce, drain off any fat, add all vegetables and water, except tomatoes. Cook on low with lid until vegetables are cooked through.
2. In a blender or food processor, puree 6 of the tomatoes, add the Italian seasoning, garlic, red pepper flakes, and give it another little whirl. You need to boil this for about 20 minutes and skim off the water and froth.
