Turkey Sausage Bolognese with Spinach

A special shout out to my wonderful hubby! Tonight, I came home from work to this beautiful sauce bubbling on the stove. So, his recipe is the feature tonight!

1/2 lb. Ground Turkey
2 Turkey sausage links (meat squeezed out of casing)
1 Onion, chopped
1 Red Bell Pepper, chopped
2 Cloves Garlic, minced
2 Cups Spinach, washed
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Cups Tomato Sauce (I use a simple marinara)
1/3 Cup Red Wine
Splash of Balsamic Vinegar
Crushed Red Pepper
Salt
Pepper
Parmesan cheese

Heat a little olive oil in a large pan. Add garlic, onion and red pepper; sauté until soft. Add the meat and cook thoroughly. Drain as needed. Add the sauce, spinach and cook down until spinach is wilted. Add wine and a splash of vinegar. Simmer for about 20 minutes and season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper as needed. Top with freshly grated Parmesan.

Such a delightful sauce-- we had it with whole wheat penne, but would be equally delicious over some steamed veggies (zucchini, yellow squash) for a lower carb option!
