| Ground Turkey Pasta Sauce
1 cup of olive oil
1 pound of ground turkey
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 bay leaf
1 onion, finely chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 cup of chopped fresh mushrooms
1 can of stewed tomatoes - (16 oz)

Put 1/2 the oil on frying pan, add turkey; brown slowly. While meat is frying, put stewed tomatoes, tomato paste, thyme, basil, oregano, salt and sugar in crock pot. Stir well and cook on LOW heat. When turkey is brown (do not overcook, turkey will finish cooking in sauce) add to crock pot. Using the rest of the oil, fry onion, pepper, garlic and bay leaf until softened. Add to crock pot with 1 cup of water and the raw, chopped mushrooms. Cook on LOW 4 hours or more.
Serve with your favorite pasta.
