Notes
- You can easily take out the red wine and use a good quality beef stock instead.
- To make this turkey bolognese extra indulgent, then add a splash of cream and stir it in just before serving.
- Make sure you season the bolognese well with a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
- If the bolognese is starting to look a bit dry, then you can add a splash of stock.
- Save a bit of time by using frozen onion and garlic.
- If you wanted to hide vegetables in this, then you can grate them or put them in the food processor.
