Homemade Ground Turkey Spaghetti will convert you from using jar sauce with it’s flavors and simplicity. The best part is you can control how much sugar and salt is in the sauce. I like to make large batches and freeze it so I have sauce ready for a quick dinner.
The sauce is great over noodles, zucchini and bread. In the summer we tend to eat less carbs and I put this over spaghetti squash and serve it with salad. I have made this recipe with a variety of ground meats and it always turns out wonderful.
