Turkey Bolognese
Bolognese sauce is a meat-based sauce in Italian cuisine, typical of the city of Bologna. Although traditionally the sauce is cooked for several hours over low heat, we have modified it to be ready within an hour and just a few simple steps!

Recipe Notes:
If you have a meat grinder or food processor, grind/chop your carrots, onions and celery to save some prep work with mincing. It also allows the vegetables to cook into the meat and creates wonderful added flavor.
