Spaghetti Bolognese

Ingredients:
1 medium onion - finely chopped
1 pepper (any colour) - finely chopped
2 medium carrots - finely chopped
1 stick of celery - finely chopped
1 clove garlic - crushed
500g pack of minced turkey
3/4 pt passata
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp freeze dried basil
2 tbsp sliced black olives
2 tbsp capers 
Splash of oil

Method:
Put the chopped onion, pepper, carrot, celery and garlic into a pan with a splash of oil and begin to soften
Don't let the vegetables brown or stick on the bottom of the pan - add a small amount of water as necessary
Once they have started to soften add in the minced turkey and cook for a further 5 minutes
Add in the passata, tomatoes, oregano and basil and bring up to the boil
Turn down the heat and simmer for 50 minutes, stirring occasionally
Stir in the olives and capers and cook for a further 5 minutes

This amount of bolognese sauce gives 5 servings
Serve with spaghetti or linguine
This bolognese sauce freezes very well and is handy to have in the freezer for when a quick meal is needed.
