Spaghetti with Meat Sauce/Chili (in crockpot)
One package of ground turkey (I love this, but you can also use lean ground beef)
Two large cans of petite diced tomatoes (do not drain)
Tablespoon tomato paste
One onion, chopped
3 or 4 cloves garlic, diced
spices
low-carb/high fiber spaghetti
Fully cook the ground turkey on the stove, using olive oil. Drain the turkey and add to crock pot. Put the tomato paste in the same pan the turkey was in and brown it. I then mix in a little water in to it (not sure if that matters, but that way it is easier to mix into all the meat) and pour into crock pot. Add diced tomatoes (undrained), chopped onion and garlic into crockpot. Add any other spices you wish (oregano, basil, etc. I use fresh basil as well). Set the crock pot to low. I usually cook it for around seven hours, it doesn’t seem to get that good, blended taste until then.
This recipe can also be used for chili.. just add “Chili-“o mix (or any chili mix) and one can of deep red kidney beans (I guess the darker they are, the healthier they are).
