This three-meat spaghetti sauce is perfect for anyone who loves a hearty, flavorful pasta dish. It's a spin on the classic meat sauce, using a combination of ground turkey, turkey sausage, and turkey pepperoni to pack in as much meaty goodness as possible.

4.Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let cook, stirring occasionally, for at least 30 minutes.
