Ingredients
  • ½ cup medium onions, finely chopped
  • ½ cup celery, finely chopped
  • ½ cup carrots, finely chopped
  • 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup low-sodium turkey or chicken stock (or canned broth)
  • 1¼ teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
  1. In a heavy-bottom saute pan, cook ground turkey over medium-high heat, stirring to break up lumps until it is no longer pink. Season with thyme leaves and cook for about 2-3 minutes longer.
  2. Cook onions, celery, carrot, and garlic in oil in a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir tomato paste, milk, wine and broth to the vegetable mixture and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium-low heat, add turkey and let simmer until sauce is thickened, 1 to 1½ hours. Add salt and pepper to taste and remove from heat.
