Meat Sauce

I don't know of many people who don't like spaghetti and meatballs.  Here is my low fat version...only instead of meatballs, I just make a meat sauce.

Ingredients:

2 lbs. ground turkey breast
2 lbs. mild Italian chicken sausage (removed from casings)
3 green bell peppers (cleaned and cut into 1" cubes)
4 medium yellow onions (cut into large dice)
5 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt (optional)
1 Tbs. dried oregano
1 Tbs. dried basil
1 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
4 large cans crushed tomatoes

Over a medium-high flame, pre-heat a heavy bottomed pot and add turkey and black pepper.  Break up the turkey into large chunks and mix well to distribute pepper.  Add the chicken sausage and mix into the turkey.  Stir frequently until no pink is showing.  Add the green peppers, onions and garlic to the meat and stir to distribute.  Allow to cook until onions start to look translucent.  Add the crushed tomatoes (and salt if you choose), oregano, basil and thyme.  Stir until all ingredients are distributed.  Bring to boil, then lower flame.  Cover and allow to simmer at least 2 hours, stirring frequently.

This can be served over any whole grain pasta.  Makes plenty of sauce, so you could freeze some and have it another day.
