Stir in the puree, tomatoes, tomato paste, bay leaves and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes., Discard bay leaves. Serve desired amount with spaghetti. Cool remaining sauce; transfer to freezer containers. Freeze for up to 3 months., To use frozen sauce: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Place in a saucepan and heat through.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion, tomato, basil, and garlic in hot oil until the onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Break ground turkey into small pieces and add to pot; season with Italian seasoning and oregano. Cook and stir mixture until turkey is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Stir tomato sauce into the turkey mixture; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Stir tomato paste into the turkey mixture until evenly colored; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the liquid is reheated, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Steps:

• In a 4 1/2 quart pot/pan brown the ground turkey over medium heat.
• Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened.
• Add tomato paste and crushed tomatoes, stirring until all is combined.
• Add chicken broth to thin it down a little bit.
• Add spices, butter, and salt and pepper and allow to simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes (just long enough to boil the water and cook the pasta!).
• Taste and adjust seasonings to preference.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the olive oil, garlic and onion. Cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
• Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce and tomato paste, stirring to combine. Add the sugar, dried basil, oregano, parsley, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and stir to combine. Add the bay leaves and 1/2 cup water. Stir well and simmer to infuse the flavors, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile cook the spaghetti in the boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain well.
• Transfer the spaghetti to a platter and ladle the sauce on top. Top with the grated Parmesan and fresh basil leaves.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrot and celery and saute until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the turkey and saute 1 minute. Add the marinara sauce. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend, stirring often. Stir in the basil. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. (The sauce can be made 1 week ahead. Cool the sauce completely, then transfer it to a container and freeze for future use. Bring the sauce to a simmer before using.)
• Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the pasta to the sauce and toss to coat, adding enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten as needed. Serve with the Parmesan.

Steps:

• Brown ground turkey until no longer pink.
• Note: I am editing this recipe to add that lately I've been sauteeing chopped onion, chopped green pepper, and minced garlic along with the ground turkey; usually it's fine to add all these in at the same time and I have never had a problem with the different veggies and the ground turkey getting overdone/underdone.
• Drain any fat.
• Add cooked ground turkey back to the pan, add the can of spaghetti sauce, set aside.
• Boil water for the noodles. Add a bit of salt once boiling, add noodles, cook per package instructions.
• While noodles cook, heat up the sauce/turkey mixture. (Edited to add that my two favorite and best sauces are Prego brand Mushroom Supreme and Prego brand Roasted Garlic and Herb. My fave and steadfast combo is either one of these sauces to which I add the browned ground turkey, chopped onions, green peppers, and minced garlic.).
• Drain noodles. Make sure sauce is heated through.
• Serve! Ground turkey isn't as cheap as ground hamburger, but it's better for you and I've found you can replace ground turkey in nearly every ground beef recipe.
• Try browning the ground turkey with some chopped onions too - that's always a yummy addition. But that's just because bf and I love onions.
• You can also try the spaghetti sauce/turkey mixture over cooked white rice. Ground beef and spaghetti sauce tastes great over white rice, why not ground turkey?.
