Directions

Heat oil in a large saucepan or skillet over medium high heat; add turkey (or beef) and sauté until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Add onions and garlic to the beef and continue to cook until onion is soft.

Stir in tomato sauce, broth, and all seasonings and reduce heat to a low simmer.

Allow sauce to simmer for 10 to 15 minutes to let flavors blend adding additional water if sauce is too thick.

Taste for hot sauce and salt.

Serve with Romaine lettuce leaves, toppings and lots of napkins. Delicious!
