Ground Turkey Bolognese Sause My Rendition Of It Anyway Recipes

GROUND TURKEY BOLOGNESE

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a large heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the onions, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and the onion is translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and oregano and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.
• Add the turkey and cook, breaking up clumps of the meat, until it is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook 5 minutes longer, stirring frequently.
• Pour in the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any browned bits. Simmer until the wine is reduced by half. Add the broth and salt and pepper to taste and cook, covered, for 1 hour over low heat. Add the milk and simmer for 20 minutes more, stirring occasionally to keep the sauce from burning. Season again with salt and pepper to taste.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions or your favorite method. Drain the pasta and fold it into the sauce. Serve topped with basil and Parmesan.

GROUND TURKEY BOLOGNESE SAUSE (MY RENDITION OF IT, ANYWAY!)

Steps:

• Over medium heat, place olive oil in heavy pan (I like to use my small dutch oven with a lid) to heat. Add ground turkey and cook through, crumbling as you go. Once the turkey is no longer pink, add garlic and cook for 3 minutes, stirring, so as to not burn the garlic. Add the two packages of mushrooms, breaking up any larger pieces- cook for 10 minutes. *This is a good time to get your pasta water boiling. Add the can of whole tomatoes to the turkey and mushrooms and crush in the pan. (I like to use a potato masher). Add the can of tomato paste and the italian seasoning. Stir it up and pop on the lid. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about 30 minutes- stirring occasionally. Flavor with salt and pepper to your liking and let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes or so without the lid on. Enjoy!

TURKEY BOLOGNESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil over medium heat in a large electric skillet. Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft but not brown, about 8 minutes. Add the turkey, tomato paste, salt and red pepper flakes; cook, stirring, until the mixture turns dark red, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their juices, breaking the tomatoes into bite-size pieces with the side of a spoon.
• Add the bay leaf and fennel seeds. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 1 hour. Discard the bay leaf, season with salt and serve over pasta.

TURKEY BOLOGNESE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrot and celery and saute until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the turkey and saute 1 minute. Add the marinara sauce. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend, stirring often. Stir in the basil. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. (The sauce can be made 1 week ahead. Cool the sauce completely, then transfer it to a container and freeze for future use. Bring the sauce to a simmer before using.)
• Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the pasta to the sauce and toss to coat, adding enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten as needed. Serve with the Parmesan.

TURKEY-AND-MUSHROOM BOLOGNESE

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a pot over medium-high. When it shimmers, add onion, carrots, and mushrooms; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and golden in places, 8 to 10 minutes (if bottom of pot browns too quickly, reduce heat to medium).
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, turkey, and pancetta; season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking turkey into bite-size pieces, until browned in places, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add wine and boil, scraping up any browned bits, until mostly evaporated. Add broth and tomato sauce; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring a few times, until thickened and reduced slightly, about 30 minutes.
• Stir in milk and continue simmering until again thickened and reduced slightly, 12 to 15 minutes more. Remove from heat. Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water according to package instructions.
• Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Toss pasta with a few spoonfuls of Bolognese and enough pasta water for sauce to evenly coat pasta. Serve pasta with more Bolognese, topped with cheese, parsley, and a drizzle of oil.
