Drain tomatoes, puree in a food processor, and then add to the skillet and simmer with vegetables for 5 minutes. Add herbs and spices and then transfer to slow cooker.

Cooking Tip: This lighter turkey version of classic Bolognese sauce can be served with any pasta or as a filling for lasagna or cannelloni. The vegetables for this recipe can also be chopped in a food processor to save time. Try not to over-chop them, which will only create extra juice.
