Ingredients
  

  • 1 large onion peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 large carrot grated
  • 500 g turkey mince
  • 1 clove garlic peeled and very finely chopped or crushed
  • 400 g canned chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoon tomato puree
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce certified GF if required
  • 1 teaspoon mixed dried herbs
  • 200 g frozen chopped spinach or use fresh
  • 400 g canned haricot beans

Instructions
 

  • Place a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the olive oil and fry the onions for a few minutes.
  • Add the turkey and garlic and stir over the heat for a few minutes.
  • Add the carrot, tomatoes and puree, Worcestershire sauce and herbs, cover and simmer gently for 20 mins.
  • Add the spinach and haricot beans and mix well.

Notes

  • If you want a low fat turkey bolognese, use turkey breast mince rather than thigh
  • Use fresh herbs if you have them - either thyme, parsley or basil all work well
