Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
  • 3 pounds lean ground turkey
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 2 onions, grated or finely chopped

Yield

Serves: about 8 cups

Preparation

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Add the turkey and break up the meat into small pieces using the back of a wooden spoon. Cook until brown, about 5-6 minutes.

Add in the carrots, onion and garlic, and cook another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, deglaze the skillet with the stock, scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan, and add the tomatoes.

Bring up to a bubble then drop the heat down to low and simmer for another 5-6 minutes more.
