This Homemade Spaghetti Sauce recipe is super easy, full of flavor and a great recipe to have in your repertoire of quick weeknight dinners. This recipe strays slightly from the classic Italian dish and is a more Americanized version that my mom always made for us growing up. Now I make it for my kids, and they’re always asking for Ma Susu’s Spaghetti! It’s filled with peppers and onions, ground turkey and a fresh tomato sauce that’s absolutely delicious.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Build Depth with Tomato Paste 🍅Toast the tomato paste in olive oil for 2-3 minutes before adding other ingredients to deepen its umami flavor and reduce any metallic taste from the can.
- Brown Turkey Properly for Rich Flavor 🍖Don't stir the ground turkey immediately after adding to the pan; let it sit for 3-4 minutes to develop a flavorful brown crust before breaking it up.
- Caramelize Aromatics First ✨Cook the onions and bell peppers separately until they develop golden edges and sweetness before combining with the meat—this creates a more complex, layered sauce.
- Simmer Low and Long 🔥Maintain a gentle simmer for 30-45 minutes rather than a rolling boil to allow flavors to meld and concentrate without breaking down the tomatoes into mush.
- Finish with Fresh Garlic 🧄Reserve some minced raw garlic to stir in during the last minute of cooking for bright, aromatic notes that cut through the richness of the sauce.
