Bolognese, a meat-based sauce originating from Bologna, Italy, is a comforting and hearty dish that's perfect for any season. This slow cooker ground turkey bolognese offers a lighter twist on the traditional recipe, using lean ground turkey instead of beef or pork. The slow cooking process melds the flavors beautifully, making it a deliciously rich sauce that's worth the wait. It's a wonderful recipe to try when you want to enjoy a classic Italian meal with a healthier spin.
This delightful turkey bolognese pairs beautifully with a variety of sides. Try it over your favorite pasta, such as spaghetti or fettuccine, for a classic combination. A hearty garlic bread or a fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette will complement the rich flavors of the sauce. For a lower-carb option, serve it over zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash. Don't forget to have some freshly grated Parmesan cheese on hand for a perfect finish!
