Ma Susu’s Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

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.
