Clean Spaghetti Sauce

Ingredients:
       6 cloves of garlic
       1 onion (or green onions)
       1 zucchini
       1 each red, orange & yellow pepper
       12 mushrooms
       6 tomatoes
       oregano
       basil
       olive oil
       ground turkey
       salt/pepper

Directions:
       1. Chop garlic and onion very finely. Begin sauteing them in a large skillet with about 2 T olive oil.
       2. Season with salt and pepper.
       3. When they begin to be translucent, add chopped peppers and zucchini. I chop the zucchini finely - I want to have the added vegetable nutrients and bulk but not taste the zucchini at all.
       4. Saute for about 10 minutes then add chopped mushrooms and ground turkey.
       5. Add chopped tomatoes, fresh chopped oregano and fresh chopped basil.
       6. Saute for 30 minutes.
       7. Serve over organic whole wheat pasta.

Tips:
       * The amounts of veggies can be changed based on preference and availability.
       * The longer the sauce is cooked the better.
       * After cooking and draining the noodles, drizzle with a small amount of olive oil and toss.
