Turkey Spaghetti Sauce (gf)

1 lb. ground dark turkey meat
-Season turkey meat with salt and pepper, 2 tsp. dried basil 2 tsp. dried oregano, sprinkle of red chili flakes, and 2 tsp. fennel seeds. Mix seasoning into raw turkey meat.
1 onion chopped
8 oz. white mushrooms sliced
2 garlic cloves crushed
1  29 oz. can tomato sauce (Hunt's brand is a favorite)
1 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes with celery, peppers, and onion
Salt to taste
Ground pepper to taste
Red chili flaked
1-2 tsp. Fennel seeds
3/4 Tb. Dried oregano
3/4 Tb. Dried basil
Olive oil

Directions:

In a large sauce pot heat 1-2 Tb. olive oil on medium /high heat, and saute onions until almost transparent. Season with salt. Add crushed garlic to onions, and then add seasoned turkey meat to onions, and keep breaking up until turkey is 90% cooked through .While the onions and turkey meat are browning, in a separate pan, brown mushrooms and season lightly with salt and pepper. Add mushrooms to turkey and onions. Pour in can of tomato sauce, and can of diced tomatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste,  dried basil, dried oregano,  fennel, and a sprinkle of hot chili flakes for added spiciness (optional). Stir, cover and cook on medium/low heat. Occasionally stir, so sauce does not burn. This sauce does not need to cook long. I let it simmer for the amount of time it takes to cook brown rice pasta which is around 15-17 minutes. This sauce,however, can be left on low simmer until ready to use.

* This sauce is delicious over any type of pasta. Annie's makes delicious rice pasta for a gluten free option.
