3 pounds lean ground turkey
2 carrots, grated

Yields: about 8 cups

Preparation

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Add the turkey and break up the meat into small pieces using the back of a wooden spoon. Cook until brown, about 5-6 minutes.

Add in the carrots, onion and garlic, and cook another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, deglaze the skillet with the stock, scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan, and add the tomatoes.
