Menu:
Turkey Bolognese
Zucchini "Noodles" || Well Fed 

Turkey Bolognese || Slightly modified from Giada de Laurentiis
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
1 pound ground cooked turkey (preferably dark meat)
3 cups marinara sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions :: Heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrot and celery and saute until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the turkey and saute 1 minute. Add the marinara sauce. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend, stirring often. Stir in the basil. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper.
