Healthy Turkey Ragù Recipe for Pasta

Healthy Turkey Ragù Recipe Overview

This turkey ragù sauce recipe is a slow-cooked meat stew that can be made with turkey or beef and vegetables — or even just vegetables. For this homemade turkey ragù recipe we use lean turkey to make a stew that is similar to a Bolognese sauce. You can eat this ragù recipe on its own, with polenta, couscous, or you can use this for a turkey lasagna recipe. This is made on the stovetop mainly because of the use of hamburger meat. Other types of ragout sauces can be made with other meats which would be better cooked low & slow in the oven (e.g. rabbit, better cuts of turkey, chicken, etc.)
