It’s turkey week here but I decided to offer you a different type of turkey. Turkey bolognese that is! So in honor of Thanksgiving right around the corner, here’s my latest bolognese iteration that I know you’ll love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lightened-Up Turkey Bolognese!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is truly a family favorite recipe around here! Naturally, like most todddlers, my daughter LOVES pasta. And it’s also a struggle to get protein into her. Cue this turkey bolognese sauce. It brings a depth of flavor that we all love but it’s also a meat-based sauced so I can get that little extra dose of protein into her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike traditional bolognese which tends to be made with either ground beef or ground pork (or a combo of the two), this weeknight dinner is lightened up with ground turkey meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It gives you the rich bold flavors of a dinner in Bologna, Italy, but with some heart-healthy alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paired with a bowl of fresh rigatoni (or preferred pasta – see suggestions below!), this turkey bolognese is sure to be a hit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
