Turkey Bolognese

As Baz doesn't eat red meat, I always make my bolognese with Turkey or Chicken. The Thermomix comes in very handy and makes it super easy to get this family favourite ready. First take 1 quartered brown onion, 2 coarsely chopped carrots, 4 cloves garlic and 1/2 zucchini coarsly chopped. Blitz for 5 seconds at speed 5. Scrape sides and add 50g of olive oil, and saute at varoma temp for 5 minutes speed 1. Next add 500g minced turkey and saute again for 5 minutes, varoma temp this time speed 2. Finally add 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 can of lentils drained and rinsed, 140g tomato paste, 100g red wine and a good grind of salt and pepper. Cook for 30 mins at 100 degrees on stir, then 15 minutes varoma stir until it's thick and saucy. If you'd like it thicker just add another 5 or 10 minutes on the end to suit. The basket over the lid helps to ensure you don't fill the kitchen with bolognese splatter! This recipe makes a good litre of sauce, so we'll often recyle left overs by adding jalapeno chillies and a can of kidney beans and serving it with rice and mexican trimmings- Chile Con Carne.
