Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tbsp olive oil
500g turkey mince (thigh or breast)
1 large onion , finely chopped
1 garlic clove , crushed
2 large carrots , peeled and diced
150g pack button mushrooms , roughly chopped
1 tbsp tomato purée
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
2 chicken stock cubes
1 tbsp soy sauce
4 large courgettes
grated pecorino or parmesan , to serve
handful basil leaves

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large saucepan and add the turkey mince. Fry until browned, then scoop into a bowl and set aside.
  • Add the onion to the pan and cook on a low heat for 8-10 mins until tender. Then add the garlic, stirring for 1 min or so, followed by the carrot and the mushrooms, stirring for about 3 mins, until softened. Tip the turkey mince back into the pan, add the tomato purée, give everything a quick stir and tip in the chopped tomatoes. Fill 1 can with water and pour into the pan. Crumble over the chicken stock cubes and bring to the boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for about 1 hr, until the sauce has thickened and the veg is tender.
  • When the bolognese is nearly ready, stir through the soy sauce and some seasoning. Spiralize your courgettes on the large noodle attachment. Heat a large frying pan with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and add your courgetti. Cook until slightly softened, for 2-3 mins. Season with salt and serve topped with the turkey bolognese, grated pecorino and basil leaves.
