Nothing brings the family to the table faster than a big platter of homemade spaghetti with meat sauce. This version swaps out the ground beef for extra lean ground turkey, a move your family will never even catch! The rich and flavorful tomato sauce comes together in just an hour, read for a weeknight dinner feast. Dried oregano and basil add an herbaceous depth to the sauce. If you have fresh herbs on hand, you can substitute them for the dried or chop them and sprinkle over the top as a flavorful garnish. Add a crispy baguette and cool green salad dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette for a full table of Italian-inspired favorites.
