Instructions
Making Turkey Ragù is a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Brown the Turkey: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground turkey. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon.
4. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and broth. Mix well to combine.
5. Season the Ragù: Add the dried oregano, basil, red pepper flakes (if using), and season with salt and pepper. Stir well.
6. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more broth.
8. Garnish: Once done, remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
9. Serve: Serve hot over your choice of pasta, polenta, or enjoy it on its own.
