After all the feasting at Christmas, I usually crave curry or pasta in the following days. Of course we still have loads of turkey left, so that’s my staple meat for the next few days.
I’ll be making this turkey bolognese to satisfy that pasta craving (and turkey tikka masala for the curry!)
Soften onions, garlic, carrots, celery and mushrooms in a pan with a little oil.
Add in the cooked turkey and then the wine and bubble for a few minutes. The red wine will darken the meat, but don’t worry, we’re adding tomatoes etc later, so the colour all evens itself out.
Add in tomato puree, some tried thyme and oregano, Worcestershire sauce, a crumbled chicken stock cube, a couple of tins of chopped tomatoes, a little sugar (to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes) and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 until luscious and thick.
Serve on top of spaghetti with a sprinkling of spring onions and parmesan.
