Leftover Turkey Bolognese

Thanksgiving is on its way.

I don’t know about you but there is always turkey leftover around our house this time of year, and it’s always a challenge to find ways to use it up without getting bored. The one dish that I always look forward to making and that is Leftover Turkey Bolognese.

Bolognese is a classic Italian dish typically made with ground beef and/or pork. I have no idea why or how but at some point in college I started making this dish with shredded leftover chicken or turkey instead. Probably because I was at the top of my clean eating game, and always looking for ways to make clean eating comforting. To me, there is very little more comforting than a big bowl of pasta sauce. Just make sure to put it over whole wheat pasta.
