Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground turkey
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 28-ounce can plum tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of hot red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet. Add the onion and saute until soft and barely beginning to brown. Add the garlic and stir.
  • Add the turkey and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the meat is uniformly broken up and loses its color. Stir in the oregano and fennel.
  • Drain the tomatoes, reserving the juice. Break them up and add to the turkey. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring from time to time, for about 20 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Season to taste with salt, pepper and hot pepper flakes.
  • Before serving, reheat the sauce, adding a little of the reserved juice if the sauce is too thick. Sprinkle with parsley.
