• as needed nonstick cooking spray
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 can (28 oz) tomatoes, cut up
• 1 C finely chopped green pepper
• 1 C finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano, crushed
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 lb spaghetti, uncooked

Spray a large skillet with nonstick spray coating. Preheat over high heat.

1. Add turkey; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Drain fat and discard.
2. Stir in tomatoes with their juice, green pepper, onion, garlic, oregano, and black pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer covered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove cover; simmer for 15 minutes more. (If you like a creamier sauce, give sauce a whirl in your blender or food processor.)
3. Meanwhile, cook spaghetti in unsalted water. Drain well.
