Meanwhile, make bolognese: In a large skillet or pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic and cook until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add ground turkey and cook until no longer pink, 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
Turkey bolognese is an easy and healthy pasta sauce recipe. The thick, rich sauce tastes like it’s been simmering all day, but it’s ready in 45 minutes. Perfect for a weeknight dinner! Sometimes, a lady needs to cheat. For example, when she is making turkey bolognese sauce.
What this lady should do to make proper, non-cheating Turkey Bolognese: Painstakingly chop all vegetables (carrots, onions, celery, garlic). Simmer the sauce on the stove for a minimum of two hours, all day if you are going for bonafide nonna status. Make the pasta from scratch. Use heavy cream. Use some wine in the sauce.
When the turkey Bolognese has thickened and is ready to serve, stir in the fresh parsley. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil to serve. Enjoy! Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
