Serves 5
Ingredients
- 500g lean turkey mince
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 2 brown onions (diced)
- 1 dried chilli
- 2 carrots (grated)
- 2 zucchini (grated)
- 2 cups mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 can lentils
- 2 tbs tomato paste
- 1 can crushed tomato
- 1 cup tomato passata
- 1 tbs mixed dried herbs
- 1tsp paprika
Method:
1. Saute in a pan garlic, chilli and onion until translucent. Add in the carrot and cook until tender (this makes the bolognese nice and sweet, naturally!)
2. Add in the mince and stir until brown. To this add tomato paste, canned tomatoes and passata, herbs and paprika and stir to combine.
3. Once combined, add in the zucchini and mushrooms and stir. Add salt and pepper to taste and let simmer for around 15-20 minutes.
4. Add lentils for that extra hit of vegetables and fibre! Cook until warmed through.
5. Now, here is where you either add pasta OR zucchini noodles depending on whether this is a post training meal or not! #rightfoodattherighttime! Cook pasta or zucchini noodles.
6. Serve with a small amount of parmesan cheese on top.
