This Slow Cooker Turkey Bolognese Sauce is adapted it from The Italian Slow Cooker by Michele Scicolone, where she calls it "Slow Cooker Turkey Ragu alla Bolognese." I made a few changes to lower the calories and Weight Watchers Points without sacrificing flavor.
1can(28 ounces) Italian peeled tomatoes, drained and finely chopped
½teaspoonfreshly grated nutmeg
Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste (I used ½ teaspoon of each)
½cuphalf-and-half
Instructions
In a large saucepan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, and garlic and cook until tender and golden, about 20 minutes.
Stir in the ground turkey and cook, stirring often, until browned, about 15 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, wine, and broth and bring to a simmer.
Scrape the mixture into your slow cooker. Add the tomatoes, nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or until thick.
Stir in half and half and cook for 15 minutes more or until heated through.
