Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavor.

Add the canned diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Season the sauce with dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed.
