Spaghetti with turkey ragu

December 16, 2021

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Spaghetti with turkey ragu. This is undoubtedly the most Christmas pasta recipe that I have ever made. For all of you who want to taste turkey this Christmas but in a very different version.

Spaghetti with turkey ragu

This particular recipe was created due to my need to include turkey on a Christmas table. You may be wondering why I did not prefer its most popular version, the well-known stuffed turkey. I did not like it because I personally love the chicken in the oven, and of course in its stuffed version.

Τurkey is a meat that is on the list of the healthiest and nutritious options, as it has low fat, low caloric value, but high nutritional value. So it should not be missing from any table.

WHAT PASTA TO CHOOSE

So I was led to a recipe based on my favorite MISKO pasta, and more specifically MISKO Golden Line. The unique single variety pasta with excellent taste, golden yellow color and high percentage of protein, was the ideal choice for this demanding recipe.

This unique, single-variety wheat pasta with the exceptional taste, golden yellow color and high percentage of proteins, is the ideal choice for both simple and demanding recipes. The classic and most popular shape of pasta in incomparable quality, offering an ideal grip to this sauce.

FLAVOR BOOSTERS OF THE RECIPE

For the spaghetti with turkey ragu I used minced turkey breast. But as turkey is a meat that is low in fat, I personally preferred to enhance the flavor of my sauce. And I achieved this by adding bacon. While, the tasty result was boosted a little bit more with the addition of dried wild mushrooms. I first soaked the mushrooms in lukewarm water, and then added them to the sauce. While, part of the water used for the dried mushrooms was added to the sauce for extra umaminess.

WHAT VEGETABLES WERE USED?

The classic recipe of a ragu sauce, in addition to meat, is based on vegetables. Vegetables such as onion, carrot and celery. Personally, I am not very fond of celery, so you will not find it in my recipe.

RECIPE TIPS

In my recipe for turkey ragu I first sauté the bacon and then remove it from the pan. Then I added chopped vegetables to the pan and after they soften I remove them as well. Do not be tempted to add them all to the pan as they do not have the same cooking time. In addition, this way the vegetables will be sautéed in olive oil in which we previously sautéed bacon (meaning extra umaminess).
