Turkey Bolognese

Turkey Bolognese

INGREDIENTS


  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 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


  1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and saute onions and mushrooms for 5 minutes, until onion is translucent and soft.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
