Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 large onion, diced

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 ¼ pounds ground turkey

  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic

  • 1 ½ teaspoons red pepper flakes

  • 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes

  • 1 cup dry white wine

  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano

  • 1 tablespoon dried basil

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar, or more to taste

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and a pinch of salt; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add turkey; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook for 2 minutes. Add red pepper flakes.

  2. Stir tomatoes, white wine, tomato paste, oregano, and basil into the pot. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the raw wine flavor cooks off, about 1 hour. Stir in sugar to reduce acidity. Season with salt and pepper. Puree sauce with an immersion blender for a less chunky sauce.
