This meat sauce has been made by the women in my family for years.. Only they used ground beef (80/20 YIKES) and real sausage. I have lightened it up. I only use lean ground turkey & chicken sweet italian sausage.. It tastes NO different. I have fooled my husband as well as my own grandmother (who's recipe this is) and she didnt know either. Its a fave among my friends & I thought my MFP fam would love it as well..

I dont have ANY idea what the calories/fat/protein is.. If anyone knows how I can get that info- Id appriciate it! !

ENJOY!!!!


1 lb. Lean ground turkey
1 lb. chicken sweet italian sausage
1 large (28 oz) can of crushed tomatos undrained
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 6 oz. can tomato paste
1 medium green pepper FINELY CHOPPED ( I use a small food processor & it works well)
1 medium onion FINELY CHOPPED
1 C of finely chopped carrots
1 TBSP italian seasoning
2 TBSP minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Pasta of your choice

In a large skillet cook & brown turkey & sausage over medium heat until no longer pink. DRAIN WELL & transfer to crock pot. Stir in ALL other ingredients, cover & cook 6-8-10 hours or until bubbly. Serve over pasta of your choice!

    Awesome! And it'll definitely be less sodium than "store bought" meat sauce since you can get low sodium versions of all the tomato ingredients. Thank you for sharing!
