About Ground meat in red sauce

Ground Meat in Red Sauce is a versatile dish rooted in various global cuisines, including Italian, Mediterranean, and Latin American traditions. Typically made with ground beef, pork, turkey, or chicken, it is cooked with a tomato-based sauce enhanced by aromatic ingredients like garlic, onions, and herbs such as basil or oregano. Depending on the region, variations may include spices, vegetables, or oils for added flavor. This dish offers a balance of protein and essential nutrients from the meat and vitamins like lycopene from the tomatoes in the sauce. Leaner meat options, like ground turkey or chicken, make it a healthier choice. However, its nutritional profile can vary depending on the fat content of the meat, added oils, or sugar in the sauce. When prepared with whole ingredients and served thoughtfully, it can be part of a nourishing and satisfying meal.
