instructions
    1

    Start by finely chopping the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Set them aside.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are softened.

    3

    Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

    4

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground turkey. Cook until it is browned, about 8-10 minutes.

    5

    Stir in the canned tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf. Bring to a gentle simmer.

    6

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

    7

    Once cooked, remove the bay leaf. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
