Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion minced/chopped small
- 3 regular sized carrots minced/chopped small
- 1 tsp salt amount will vary depending on preference
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 lb ground turkey, 93/7 lean

- 3/4 cup dry red wine
- 28 oz crushed tomatoes
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 3/4 cup whole milk

Instructions
- Warm a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat on the stove. Mince the onion & carrot, and add the oil to the pot. Once the oil is warm, add the carrots first & then the onions a few minutes later. Add 1/4 of the salt.
- After the carrots and onions become soft, about ten minutes, add the garlic, turkey, red pepper, and oregano.
- Cook the turkey through, and add another 1/4 of the salt. Add the red wine, and simmer until the alcohol is cooked down- about ten minutes.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Simmer for a few minutes & taste test. Add more salt if needed. Add the whole milk. Simmer for at least another 30 minutes, or longer if time allows.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook pasta al dente. Toss the pasta in the sauce, and enjoy!
