Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 large yellow onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound lean ground turkey meat
- 25 ounces tomato sauce*
Instructions
- Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or a thick-bottomed pot such as a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sauté the yellow onion until softened until it begins turning golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Add in the ground turkey and fresh garlic. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to break the ground turkey into small chunks. Brown the meat until it is nearly cooked through.
- Pour the pasta sauce into the skillet with the meat and onions and stir well. Bring the sauce to a full boil. Immediately reduce the heat and cover the skillet. Cook at a controlled bubble for a minimum of 10-15 minutes, ideally 1 hour if you have the time to develop more depth of flavor. Taste the sauce for flavor and season it to taste with salt and black pepper. You can also stir in fresh herbs like fresh parsley, fresh basil, and/or grated parmesan cheese.
- Serve turkey Bolognese over your choice of pasta noodles, rice, spaghetti squash, zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, etc. This sauce makes enough to accommodate one 12-ounce package of pasta noodles.
