Imagine Thanksgiving dinner, but instead of a plate full of separate dishes, it’s all magically transformed into a cozy, comforting bowl of pasta. That’s exactly what this Turkey Bolognese recipe delivers! It’s like capturing the essence of the holiday in every bite.
This recipe yields a generous 1 quart, enough to generously coat 2 pounds of dried pasta, making it perfect for a hearty family meal or a festive gathering. And trust me, with a perfect 5-star rating, it’s a crowd-pleaser.
But here’s where it gets interesting: This isn’t your average Bolognese. It’s a Sasto family tradition, a delightful fusion of modern twist and nostalgic comfort. Think classic Thanksgiving flavors like tender turkey, aromatic sage, and a hint of white wine, all simmered into a rich and flavorful sauce. And this is the part most people miss: I like to serve it with sweet potato gnocchi, topped with a playful twist on sweet potato casserole – white pepper marshmallows! It’s a surprising combination that works surprisingly well. Of course, feel free to experiment with your favorite pasta shapes, fresh or dried.
Controversial swap alert: While white wine is traditional, some might argue that a bold red wine adds a deeper, richer dimension to the sauce. What’s your take?
Do you dare to deviate from the classic?
This Turkey Bolognese is more than just a recipe; it’s a celebration of Thanksgiving flavors in a whole new, utterly delicious form. Give it a try and let the holiday spirit simmer in your kitchen!
