Steps

15 mins

1

Heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2

Add the carrot and celery and saute until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the turkey and saute 1 minute. Add the marinara sauce
3

Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend, stirring often.
4

Stir in the basil. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. (The sauce can be made 1 week ahead. Cool the sauce completely, then transfer it to a container and freeze for future use. Bring the sauce to a simmer before using.)
5

Meanwhile cook spaghetti. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add pasta to sauce and add enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten as needed.
