I love making homemade tomato sauces and decided to use ground turkey instead of ground beef to make it a little more healthier. This homemade tomato sauce with ground turkey is going to be used for a lasagna and a stuffed shells dish. Also, a little hint whenever I use tomatos from a can, I always fill the cans about a quarter way up with water to rinse and make sure I get all the tomatoes out of the can. Just pour the watered tomato sauce into the pot. I probably made at least 8 cups of sauce with this recipe. You can use the sauce right away or freeze for future use. Here is the recipe for how I made the lasagna using this tomato sauce with ground turkey instead of the one in the recipe.
