Serves: 6

Using nonstick cooking spray, ground turkey, and no added salt helps to make this classic dish heart-healthy.

INGREDIENTS
1 lb. ground turkey
1 can (28 oz.) tomatoes, cut up
1 cup green pepper, finely chopped
1 cup onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb. whole wheat spaghetti, uncooked

DIRECTIONS
1. Spray a large skillet with nonstick spray coating. Preheat over high heat.
2. Add turkey; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Drain fat and discard.
3. Stir in tomatoes with their juice, green pepper, onion, garlic, oregano, and black pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer covered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove cover; simmer for 15 minutes more. (If you like a thinner sauce, give your sauce a whirl in a blender or food processor.)
4. Meanwhile, cook spaghetti in unsalted water. Drain well.
5. Serve sauce over spaghetti.
