Background

This turkey bolognese sauce is a low-fat, low-carb version, ideal for those who are on a high protein, lean meat diet. It’s full of veggies too, so it’s healthier than the classic Spag Bol. Serve it with whole wheat pasta, brown rice or on a piece of wholesome toast and a large bowl of leafy salad.

Ingredients

500g lean turkey mince
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 onions
2 carrots
2 celery sticks
3 cloves of garlic
1 Tbsp Italian spice mix ( or dried thyme/oregano)
1 Tbsp tomato purée
100 ml red wine
1 bay leaf
½ bell pepper
250g chicken liver (organic)
1 tin of plum tomatoes
500 ml chicken stock
100g greens of your choice (peas, cavolo nero, spinach, broad beans etc)

Instructions

Chop the onion, carrot, garlic and celery.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan and dry-fry the turkey mince until it’s changed colour, then transfer to a plate.
Add the oil and gently sauté the onion, carrot and celery until softened, for about 8-10 mins.
Add the garlic and chicken liver, then and cook until the liver becomes light brown.
Add the tomato purée, wine and spices, then cook for a minute, while stirring.
Add the tinned tomatoes, turkey meat, bell pepper (not chopped)m bay leaf and stock.
Simmer for 20-25 minutes, then add your chosen greens and cook for another 5-10 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
Serve warm with pasta and fresh herbs scattered on top.
