Quick Turkey Bolognese sauce
Lean bolognese is made with ground turkey instead of beef, and the result is just as delicious. Plus, finely chopped mushrooms are incorporated into the sauce for a earthy flavor. This is served over pasta, zucchini noodles or polenta, then sprinkled with parmesan cheese.
Servings: 12
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon italian seasoning
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- 1 cup mushrooms finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 28 oz tomatoes crushed
- 1 ½ tablespoon tomato paste
- ½ cup fresh basil chopped
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and itallian seasoning. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add turkey, mushrooms and salt. Cook, crumbling the turkey with a wooden spoon. Stir until the turkey is no longer pink and the mushrooms are cooked, about 10 minutes.
Increase heat to medium high. Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, and cook. Stir occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
