• 1 medium carrot, 4 ounces (120 g)
• 1 medium celery rib, 3 ounces (90 g)
• 1 medium zucchini, 6 ounces (240 g)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 tablespoon crushed dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon crushed dried thyme

1. In a large saucepan, crumble the turkey and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until turkey is white throughout. Drain off all fat.
