Instructions
- Heat oil over medium heat in large saucepan or dutch oven.
- Saute carrots, celery, onion until veggies start to soften, about 5 minutes. Then add garlic and saute an additional minute.
- Add ground turkey and cook for 5-7 min until no pink remains, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Stir in salt, pepper, italian seasoning and cinnamon
- Add tomatoes, broth and tomato paste and stir to combine, breaking up tomatoes with a wooden spoon.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, then lower the heat and let simmer for 20-30 minutes, until it starts to thicken, stirring occasionally.
- While the sauce is simmering, cook pasta according to package directions. Before draining, reserve some of the pasta water to save for later.
- Taste the sauce and add additional salt, black pepper, or additional seasoning as desired. If you want more of a liquidy sauce you can now add some of the reserved pasta water to the sauce, if desired.
- One pasta is done cooking, portion onto a plate and top with the turkey bolognese. Sprinkle fresh parmesan and fresh herbs on top, if desired.
