- ½ medium white onion — finely chopped
- 1 celery stalk — finely diced
- Salt and ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- 3 cloves garlic — minced
- 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil

Instructions
-
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add ground turkey, onion, and celery. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Sauté the turkey mixture (breaking up the turkey into small pieces) until the turkey is cooked through or for about 10minutes.
-
Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute or so.
-
Add in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, oregano, and brown sugar.

Bring to a boil and then lower heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the zucchini noodles using a spiralizer or mandoline slicer.
