Ingredients:

Serving

3 (29 oz) cans tomato puree
8 cups water (may vary depending upon thickness of puree)
3 tbsp ground fennel
3 tbsp basil
3 tbsp oregano
3 tbsp pepper
1 tbsp salt
4 -6 fresh basil leaves ( if you have it)
3 bay leaves
1 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes (use less if you don'tsp want it hot or more if you like a hot sauce)
1 lb ground chicken or 1 lb turkey
2 large eggs
2 cloves diced garlic
2 cups parmesan cheese (may need to add more if meat is real wet)
1/3 cup breadcrumbs (may need to add more if meat is real wet)
1 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp oregano
2 tsp basil
2 tsp parsley
1 lb mild medium or hot italian sausage
1 lb country-style boneless pork ribs

Directions:

*IFYOU CANNOT FIND TOMATO PUREE, YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE IT WITH 2 CANS TOMATO SAUCE AND 1 CAN TOMATO PASTE**IF YOU SUBSTITUE THE PUREE FOR THE SAUCE AND PASTE, YOU WILL ONLY NEED TO ADD HALF THE WATER LISTED ABOVE~*~*~STEP ONE: Sauce~*~*~.
In a large cooking pot (8 or 10 quart pot) combine the tomato puree, water and spices and cook over low heat until you are done with Step Two.
~*~*~STEPTWO: Meatballs, Sausage and Pork~*~*~.
Place the ground turkey or chicken in a large mixing bowl.
Add the two eggs, spices, cheese and bread crumbs.
Mix together very well and form into meatballs.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat up a small amount of cooking oil (I use about a tablespoon of olive oil) over med heat.
Fry the meatballs, sausage links and pork ribs together just until they are brown all over (you won't be able to fit all the meat in the skillet so you'll have to fry them up in batches but make sure each batch contains a little of each meat so that the flavors are mixed together).
Add the semi-cooked meat and juices to the sauce, increase heat to medium and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to med-low, cover and simmer for 4 hours.
Stir every 10 to 15 minutes to avoid burning the bottom of the sauce.
