By MissHeather

Ingredients

• 3/4 pound ground turkey
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 medium carrot, chopped fine
• 2 teaspoons oregano
• 1 teaspoon basil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 796 milliliters canned tomatoes, undrained
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in a large non-stick saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey. Cook, breaking up meat and mixing well until turkey is no longer pink inside.

Add garlic, onion, carrot and all dry seasonings. Cook for 3 - 5 minutes, mixing thoroughly until onion softens.

Add tomatoes, ketchup, worcestershire sauce and bay leaf. Mix well, breaking up pieces of tomato into smaller chunks. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 - 40 minutes. Add cheese and parsley. Mix well.

Cover and cook about 5 minutes, just until cheese is melted and sauce thickens. Remove bay leaf before serving.
