Turkey Bolognese

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2-3 tbsp garlic, minced
• 1 celery stalk, diced
• 1 carrot, diced
• 1 pound ground lean turkey
• 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
• 2 tsp dried parsley
• 1 tsp dried basil
• Sea Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

In a large skillet heat the olive oil, add the onion and garlic and saute over medium heat until the onions become very soft, about 8 minutes. Add the celery and carrot and saute for 5 minutes. Add the turkey and continue cooking, stirring frequently and breaking up any large lumps and cook until meat is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes, parsley and basil and cook over medium low heat until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper. I usually cook another 30-60 minutes. 

Top with grated cheese, if desired.
