Turkey Bolognese with Orzo
plus Mixed Greens Salad & Parmesan
Allergens: Wheat, Milk

Cooking steps:

-
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.
-
Halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Trim, peel, and finely dice carrots.

-
Once water is boiling, add orzo to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 7-10 minutes.
-
Reserve ¼ cup pasta cooking water (½ cup for 4 servings), then drain.

-
While orzo cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey* and season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until turkey is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
-
Add onion, carrots, and garlic powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion starts to become translucent, 2-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

-
To pan with turkey mixture, stir in tomato paste, stock concentrate, 1 cup water, and ¼ tsp sugar (2 cups water and ½ tsp sugar for 4 servings). Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender and sauce has thickened slightly, 10-12 minutes. TIP: If sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta cooking water.
-
Stir in crème fraîche. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

-
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together mustard, half the vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper (all the vinegar and a large drizzle of olive oil for 4 servings).
-
Once sauce and pasta are done, in a large bowl, toss mixed greens wiith as much vinaigrette as you like.
-
Grate half the Parmesan over salad.

-
Divide pasta between shallow bowls. Top with Bolognese sauce. Grate remaining Parmesan over top. Serve with salad on the side.
