Turkey Bolognese offers a variety of health benefits, making it a great choice for a nutritious and flavorful meal. It is lower in fat, a lean rich protein, and full of nutrients!

The use of 93% lean ground turkey has more flavor and moisture than 99% lean turkey. If using a parmesan rind and a store-bought marinara sauce please be cautious with the amount of salt you use. I usually season the mirepoix or onion, celery, carrot sofrito very carefully until I add these ingredients to the sauce. Then I add salt to taste if necessary. Please remember to remove the rind from the sauce once it has been cooked. We love to serve this sauce over pasta with pieces of burrata, fresh basil, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and red pepper flakes. It is simply divine!
