Pas cu pas

1. 1

   Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

   Aproximativ 1 min.

2. 2

   Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is fully browned.

   Aproximativ 7 min.

   Nota bucătarului: Don't overcrowd the pan, as this will steam the meat instead of browning it.

3. 3

   Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the pot with the turkey.

   Aproximativ 1 min.

4. 4

   Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened.

5. 5

   Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

   Aproximativ 3 min.

   Nota bucătarului: Be careful not to burn the garlic, which can make the sauce taste bitter.

6. 6

   Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato passata, and water.

   Aproximativ 1 min.

7. 7

   Add the salt, granulated sugar, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, and the bay leaf.

   Aproximativ 1 min.

   Nota bucătarului: The sugar helps to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.

8. 8

   Stir everything together well and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

   Aproximativ 4 min.

9. 9

   Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the sauce simmer for at least 60 minutes.

   Aproximativ 1 oră

   Nota bucătarului: Stir every 15 minutes or so to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

    Remove and discard the bay leaf before serving the sauce.
