About

If you are looking for a simple, comforting bowl of spaghetti with a slight twist, you are in the right place! We love substituting turkey for traditional beef, as turkey is leaner and gives the dish a different, lighter vibe. Adding onion and carrot for some natural sweetness pairs perfectly with the earthy, slightly peppery flavor of sage. This is one of our favorites—and that’s saying a lot since we have a ton of recipes for spaghetti and meatballs.
