Linguine Turkey Bolognese
2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
1 Celery stalk with leaves,
-finely chopped
1 medium Carrot, finely chopped
1 medium Onion, finely chopped
2 cl Garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 lb Ground turkey
1 tbsp Dried oregano
1/2 cup Dry red wine
1/2 cup Half-and-half
1 can Plum tomatoes, crushed
-slightly, with juices
-(28 oz)
2 tbsp Tomato paste
1 cup Defatted chicken broth
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
-to taste
1 lb Cooked linguine
2 tbsp Chopped flat-leaf parsley,
-for garnish
To lighten a traditional Bolognese sauce, I substituted lean ground
turkey for the more traditional ground beef. It's necessary to taste
and adjust seasonings as you go along, since the flavor of turkey is
not as strong as beef. I've added a generous amount of oregano and
garlic for spice and sauteed the meat in extra-virgin olive oil for
more flavor. Have patience with this sauce - the long, slow simmer is
what makes it so delicious. Freshly grated Parmesan is perfect to
serve alongside.
1. Place oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-low heat. Add the
celery, carrot, onion and garlic, then cook 8-10 minutes, stirring
occasionally.
2. Raise heat to medium and add the ground turkey and oregano. Cook
for about 8 minutes, stirring and breaking up the meat, until it
begins to brown.
3. Add the wine and simmer for about 10-12 minutes. Add the
half-and-half and simmer until nearly reduced, about 6-8 minutes.
4. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and broth. Bring to a gentle simmer
and cook over medium-low heat, partially covered, for 1 hour,
stirring a few times. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5. Serve hot over just-cooked linguine and sprinkle with chopped
parsley.

Dieting made easy
If you enjoy your food, but want to drop a dress size and also increase your overall condition, then you need to start a carefully prepared healthy dietary regime. At best, this ought to incorporate 5 standard portions of fruit & veg each day and also take in an appropriate mix of fat, carbs and protein.
When people first start dieting, they usually concentrate upon supermarket and big brand foods labelled 'low in fat'. This is most certainly wrong, seeing as how a food product may well be moderate in fats, but still much too high in calories.
In deciding on a meal plan, the most important step is to make sure you reduce ingestion of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
