Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 each carrot and celery stalk, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pkg (454 g) ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry white wine
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) tomato paste
  • 1 jar (650 mL) strained tomatoes (passata)

Instructions

  • In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Cook carrot, celery, onion, and garlic for 5 minutes or until softened. Add turkey and cook, stirring and breaking up meat for about 8 minutes or until no longer pink. Add wine and simmer until almost all has evaporated. Stir in tomato paste to coat meat and vegetables. Add passata, milk, broth, salt, hot pepper flakes, and bay leaves; bring to a simmer.
