MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Emily Blunt's Turkey Bolognese Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Herbs, Wine, Dairy Yield: 6 servings 3 tb Unsalted butter; divided 2 tb Olive oil 1 md Onion; fine chopped 2 lg Carrots; peeled, coarse - chopped 3 Celery ribs; coarse chopped 3 cl Garlic; minced 1 1/2 lb Ground turkey 1 c Italian white wine 6 oz Tomato paste 1 c Whole milk 2 Bay leaves Salt & ground black pepper 1 Parmesan rind 16 oz Fusilli 1/2 c Parmesan cheese; fresh grated - more for serving Set the oven @ 300°F/150°C. Add the carrots and celery to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse the processor until they're very finely chopped. Heat two tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a large, shallow, oven-proof skillet that has a lid (like a Le Creuset braiser) over medium-high heat. Add in the chopped onions; stir and saute them for about two minutes until they begin to soften and look translucent. Add in the chopped carrots and celery; saute them for two more minutes, then add in the minced garlic. Cook the ingredients for another two minutes. Crumble the ground turkey into the pan. Cook the meat, stirring, until it's browned-about eight to 10 minutes. Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Once the wine is reduced, add the tomato paste, milk and bay leaves. Simmer and stir everything for about three to four minutes. Taste the sauce and add in salt and pepper until it tastes balanced. Tuck the Parmesan rind into the sauce. Put the lid on the skillet and slide it into the oven. Cook the sauce for 45 minutes, stirring it once halfway through. Just before the sauce is finished, cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions. Reserve one cup of the cooking water. Drain the pasta and then put it back in the pot. Add to it the remaining tablespoon of butter, the grated Parmesan and the reserved pasta water. Stir everything together to coat the pasta. When the sauce is done, pull the skillet from the oven and remove the lid. Remove and discard the bay leaves and the Parmesan rind. Pour the cooked pasta mixture into the pan and stir to coat the noodles with the Bolognese sauce. (If the sauce seems too thin, put the skillet over medium heat for a few minutes to thicken it.) Spoon portions of the pasta into bowls, top them with more grated Parmesan, and serve immediately.
