Turkey Bolognese

July 13, 2010 2 Comments

Turkey Bolognese 2

Pasta bolognese has become a staple in the family diet and is usually made with beef. This version is particularly bariatric friendly because it uses high protein and low saturated fat turkey mince and is just as flavoursome. Serve with spaghetti and grated Parmesan cheese if liked. Suitable for soft foods stage if puréed.

 

Turkey Bolognese

Ingredients

Fry Light low-fat cooking spray

1 large onion, finely chopped

500 g turkey mince

1 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

2 carrots, peeled and diced

400 g can chopped tomatoes in juice

2 tbsp tomato puree

200 ml water

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)

salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

1. Spray a large non-stick pan with Fry Light. Add the onion and cook over a gentle heat for 2-3 minutes to soften.

2. Increase the heat, add the turkey mince and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring and breaking up any lumps.

3. Add the garlic, carrots, tomatoes, tomato puree, water, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, if used, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 45-50 minutes, until cooked and tender.

4. Serve hot with freshly cooked spaghetti and lightly dusted with Parmesan cheese if liked.

    Hi Maureen, there isn’t a pasta serving recommendation for this recipe – it is suggested you eat a small amount according to how much you can tolerate and what stage of post-eating after surgery you’re at. Toleration varies enormously – I would only suggest 2-3 tbsp to begin with and then moving up to a maximum of a 1/4 of a bariatric plate portion (see our pic on the bariatric portion plate gallery as an example of this). Some patients have problems with pasta and choose to have courgetti or other vegetable ribbons instead (like squash), there’s no one rule to suit all here. Initially I didn’t serve my turkey bolognaise with any pasta just plain with extra vegetables and a sprinkling of cheese which was delicious. Hope this all helps. C x
