Keep it Healthy and Delicious!
Dear In Good Taste Catering by Stacey Blog Readers and Followers,
Today’s recipe is for all the parents out there who know what it’s like to have picky eaters! It’s a universal, and never ending struggle, for parents to find meals for children of all ages that they will actually like. If you try to make it healthy too, forget about it!
Trust me . . . it can be done!
My recipe for Turkey Bolognese is a new twist on a classic recipe that is sure to win over your children (and any other member of the household)! It’s easy, but delicious! Plus, as you’ll see at the end of the recipe, there are plenty of additional options that can be incorporated into this recipe to satisfy anyone!
Cooking Time:
About an hour and 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 yellow onion (julienned)
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 3 tsp of chopped garlic
- 2 tbsp. of red wine
- A pinch of sugar
- 2 tsp of salt
- 1 tsp of black pepper
- 2 tsp of dried oregano
- 2 tsp of dried basil
- 1 tsp of granulated garlic
- 1 tsp of onion powder
- 1 box of any type of pasta that you would like
- 1 pound of extra-lean ground turkey
- 1 cup of marinara sauce
Cooking Instructions
- Sauté the garlic and the onions for about 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
- Add the ground turkey and cook the turkey completely (it will become grey with touches of brown if it starts to char).
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot and cook for 30 minutes.
- Heat a pot of water and add 1 tsp salt. Bring the water to a boil.
- Add the pasta and cook about 5-6 minutes. You’re looking for an Al Dente texture to the pasta (which means it is limp but a little chewy).
- Strain the pasta.
- Place the sauce over the pasta in the pot and serve!
That’s it! But, if you want to go nuts you can add different ingredients to the sauce to your liking. Feel free to add broccoli, squash, and zucchini. Just dice them up and add to the sauce.
