If you still have leftovers at this point, I'm not too sure what to say other than HOW CAN THAT BE?!

With turkey on our minds as thanksgiving approaches, I got a recipe for you. This Turkey Bolognese sauce is one for the books! Using ground turkey instead of beef lightens it up but does not take away from the flavor. Carrots add sweetness, red wine brings boldness, and #sanmarzanotomatoes simmer it all together. Eat with pasta, eat with a spoon, doesn’t matter. Just eat!⁠ #recipecomingsoon .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #feedfeed #Buzzfeed #buzzfeedfood #f52grams #foodblogger @food_glooby #gloobyfood #dailyfoodfeed #foodporn #foodgasm #eatingfortheinsta #foodlover #instafood #foodie #foodstagram #foodphotography #huffposttaste #foodgawker @todayfood #mykitchen #clteats #cltblogger #cltfood #charlottefoodie #turkey #turkeyday #thanksgiving #bolognese @cltfoodbloggers #charlottefood #eatdrinkclt
