Ingredients

  • 1/4 cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil (use A Little Less For 3 Turkey Sausages)
  • 8 cloves Garlic, Crushed
  • 5 whole Mild Jenni-O Turkey Sausage (3-5 Links, Casings Removed)
  • Onion Powder (Husband And Kids Don't Like Onions --boo!)
  • 1 can (28 Oz. Can) Italian Plum Tomatoes, Or Up To 1 1/2 Cans If You Use An Entire Package Of Sausage
  • Peperoncino (Crushed Red Pepper Flakes), To Taste
  • 1 whole Bay Leaf (small)
  • 2 pinches Dried Basil

Method

  • In a medium-sized non-reactive saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
  • Add turkey sausage and cook until liquid is gone and oil appears again.
  • After turkey has cooked a while, add onion powder and a couple of shakes of regular black pepper and salt.
  • When the turkey sausage is seasoned and is at the oil stage, carefully add the tomatoes (crush in your hand as you add them) and their liquid.
  • Bring to a boil and season with peperoncino, bay leaf and basil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, breaking up the tomatoes with a whisk as they cook, until the sauce is chunky and thick, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the garlic cloves, if desired.
  • Taste the sauce and add more salt and peperoncino if necessary.
