Homemade Ground Turkey Spaghetti will convert you from using jar sauce. I like to make large batches and freeze it so I have sauce ready for a quick dinner. This sauce is good over noodles and spaghetti squash. I like to serve green beans on the side.
I have made this recipe with a variety of different ground meats and it always turns out. I have also added zucchini to the sauce and it is wonderful.
