Brown the Italian turkey sausage as you would ground beef. If you start with the kind that already looks like ground beef this is super easy. If you start with sausage in the casings, you’ll need to use a knife to remove the casings before crumbling and browning the sausage in a medium saucepan or skillet.

Add the remaining ingredients to the medium saucepan and allow to cook for at least 25 minutes, or longer if you can.

Or, make the sauce in a mini crockpot, it should it nearly to the top, and let it cook on low all day.

This recipe makes a bit more sauce than is needed for 1 lb. of pasta. You can freeze the leftover sauce for another meal, or use a smaller can of tomato sauce. I like having plenty of sauce.
