Cómo preparar Mom's Best Healthy Meat Sauce

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of lean ground turkey (or ground beef) and brown, breaking it up with a spoon.
Drain off any excess grease.
Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 bell pepper (chopped), 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms, and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet.
Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the vegetables are slightly softened.
Add one (24-26 ounce) jar of your favorite pasta sauce and one (10-12 ounce) bottle of chili sauce to the skillet.
Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
If the sauce is too watery after 20 minutes, remove the lid and continue to simmer until it reaches your desired consistency.
Serve over hot cooked spaghetti, topped with grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy with garlic bread and a fresh green salad!
