Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Italian
Servings: 4
Author: Nancy Perozzi

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Sliced Peppers
  • 2 cups Sliced Onions
  • 4 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 ½ cups sliced mushrooms (such as baby bella)
  • 1 lb cooked turkey leftovers
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 ½ tsp dried organo
  • 4 to 5 cups crushed tomatoes with juice
  • 3 oz tomato paste
  • ¼ cup red wine

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan or a heavy bottomed pot, add olive oil and set stove to medium heat.
  • Saute peppers, onions, garlic, and mushrooms for 3 minutes.
  • Add turkey, salt, pepper, and oregano and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, tomato paste, and red wine and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 more minutes.

Notes

Most cacciatores involve braising meat in the sauce, but since this uses turkey leftovers, the meal comes together quickly with only the need to warm the meat. If you are serving it over pasta or rice, be sure to have that ready beforehand.
