How to Make Asian Spaghetti Sauce

  1. Brown 1 lb ground turkey in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 tbsp onion powder (or 1/2 small onion, finely chopped). Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger (or 1 tsp ground ginger), 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), 2 tbsp soy sauce, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Stir well to combine.
  5. Add 1 cup chopped carrots and 1 cup frozen peas.
  6. Stir and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender-crisp.
  7. Add 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (optional). Stir and cook for another minute, just until heated through.
  8. Serve the sauce over 1 lb cooked whole wheat spaghetti. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions (optional).
