Turkey Bolognese

Ingredients:

1 tbsp. olive oil

1 lb. (450g) ground turkey

2 carrots, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 onion, diced

2 celery sticks, diced

2x 14 oz. (400g) cans chopped tomatoes

salt & pepper

¼ tsp. chili flakes

4 tbsp. basil, chopped

4 tbsp. parsley, chopped

 

Method:

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the ground turkey for 5-7 minutes until starting to brown. Remove from pan and set aside, reserving the juices.
  • To the same pan, add carrots, garlic, onion and celery. Sauté until onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Add back the cooked turkey, along with chopped tomatoes, the spices and herbs. Season to taste with salt & pepper. Stir to combine, and bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve over pasta, zucchini noodles, in stuffed pepper or baked zucchini boats
