Instructions
- Boil the spaghetti noodles to al dente per the package instructions. Once done drain the water.
- While the spaghetti cooks, heat a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground turkey, Italian sausage and onion and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Once done, drain any excess fat or liquid.
- Add all of the remaining ingredients except the sugar to the pot and mix to combine then bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and allow the sauce to a simmer for 20 minutes. Last, stir in the sugar, then toss with the pasta and serve immediately. Alternately, serve the spaghetti onto each plate and top with sauce.
Notes
- Substitutions:
- How to Store: To save leftovers, separate into meal sized portions and then place in an airtight container and store:
- How to Freeze: Making this easy weeknight spaghetti with meat sauce recipe into a freezer meal is simple! Follow the steps below, and you can store this recipe in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- How to Reheat:
- How to Scale: This recipe can be halved, but if you double it you would need another crockpot.
- Ground Turkey – You can substitute ground turkey or ground chicken if you want to lighten it up a bit.
- Italian sausage – You can use ground Italian sausage or links and bust out the meat from the casing. For a little extra bite, use spicy sausage. If you prefer to only use turkey you can but the flavor of the spaghetti sauce will change a little.
- Onion – Yellow or white onions will both work.
- Dried herbs – If you want to swap out any of the dry herbs for fresh herbs, multiply the amount of dry by 3. So ¼ teaspoon dried thyme would amount to ¾ teaspoon fresh chopped thyme.
- Garlic powder – You could substitute 2 tablespoons fresh grated or minced garlic instead, but garlic powder is the quickest and easiest option.
- in the refrigerator for 3-4 days
- in the freezer up to a month
- Allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container: gallon ziptop bags, mason jars, or containers with lids. Then, spoon the sauce into the container.
- If freezing in a zip-top bag, place the bag flat on a baking sheet and in the freezer. Once frozen, you can stack them more easily. Be sure to label the sauce with a name and date.
- In the microwave on 30 second increments, stir and continue until heated through.
