  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1              pound  ground turkey breast -- or turkey sausage
  1                 lb  lean ground beef
  2               tbsp  olive oil
  2          teaspoons  minced garlic
  1             bottle  burgundy wine -- the better the wine, the better the sauce
  2               tbsp  italian seasonings
  1          large can  tomato sauce -- 29 oz
  2         large cans  crushed  tomatoes -- use canned (29 oz each)
  1          small can  tomato paste -- 12 oz
     1/4           cup  parmesan cheese & romano -- fresh if possible
     1/4           tsp  Splenda  (helps cut the acidity) -- (1/4 to 1/2)
     1/2           tsp  salt
  1               dash  nutmeg

In a skillet over medium high heat,  add the garlic, italian seasonings, and half the bottle of wine. Simmer until the wine has reduced by about half.

In a large pot, brown the turkey and hamburger together. Since Bypass patients have problems with casings on meat, remove the casings if you bought the sausage in links. Drain.

After the meat is cooked and drained, add all the tomato products, making sure that the tomato paste is well blended throughout.

When the garlic and wine have reduced enough, add them to the tomato-meat sauce. Add the cheese, making sure to sprinkle it over the top to prevent clumping. Sprinkle the nutmeg,  sugar and salt over the top, stir well.

Simmer until you're ready to eat, stirring occasionally. It's best when you've had it simmering all day, gives it a chance to reduce the watery liquid.  I have cooked it as little as 2 hours and as many as 12.
