A Fresh Twist on a Family FavouriteThis Turkey Bolognese is a vibrant dish that still feels incredibly satisfying. With hidden depths of flavour from smoked paprika and Worcestershire sauce, it’s a healthy, no-nonsense recipe that proves home cooking is anything but boring
Ingredients
- 250 g turkey mince
- 150 g spaghetti
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 6 cherry tomatoes sliced

Instructions

- Add the turkey mince and break it up with a spoon. Cook for 5–6 minutes until browned all over.
- Stir in the tomato purée, oregano, paprika (if using), and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 1 minute to release flavour.
