- ¼ onion, finely chopped
- 150g turkey mince
- 60g mushrooms
- ½ x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 100ml vegetable stock
- ½ tbsp tomato puree (paste)
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 15g parmesan cheese, grated
- ½ courgette (zucchini), spiralised
METHOD
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and saute onions and mushrooms for 5 minutes, until onion is translucent and soft.
- Add turkey mince and fry off for 4-5 minutes until browned. Add the tinned tomatoes, water, tomato puree/paste, stock cube and oregano – stir through and simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring regularly. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Arrange spiralised courgette/zucchini on your plate, top with bolognese and parmesan.
Tips:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat and serve.
- Freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost and reheat before serving.
- Batch cook and freeze in portions for a convenient meal.
Notes:
- If you prefer, stir the courgette/zucchini into the bolognese for 30-60 seconds at the end to cook through.
- Bolognese is a great way to use up vege that are looking a little worse for wear – add spinach, carrot, celery, red peppers/capsicum, green beans, or pretty much anything you’ve got leftover in the crisper drawer.
