Pappardelle with Turkey Bolognese
and Herbs
Makes 6 servings

It’s always great to have a classic Bolognese recipe in
your arsenal, so why not have a lighter version at the
ready as well? A variety of herbs and alliums keep this
meal fresh and colorful, while swapping ground beef for
ground turkey is a delicious, wholesome switch.

½ cup olive oil, divided
1 pound ground turkey
½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 green onions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
3 cloves garlic, fi nely chopped
1 cup white wine
1 (16-ounce) package pappardelle
¾ cup fi nely grated pecorino cheese
½ cup roughly chopped fresh spring herbs (such as tarragon, chives,
and parsley), divided
Garnish: fi nely grated pecorino cheese, ground black pepper

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add ¼ cup oil. Add turkey,
   salt, and pepper; cook, breaking apart meat with a wooden spoon, until
   browned and crumbly, about 6 minutes. Add ⅓ cup white part of green
   onion and garlic; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in wine, and cook until reduced
   by half. Remove from heat.


2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta;
   cook until al dente, about 4 minutes. Reserve ¾ cup pasta water. Drain
   pasta, and transfer to skillet with turkey mixture. Add reserved ¾ cup
   pasta water and remaining ¼ cup oil, stirring gently to combine. Return
   to medium heat; cook until pasta water is reduced and sauce is silky,
   about 2 minutes.


3. Remove from heat; add pecorino, ¼ cup herbs, and ¼ cup green part
   of green onion. Transfer to a serving bowl. Top with remaining ¼ cup herbs
   and remaining ¼ cup green part of green onion. Garnish with pecorino and
   pepper, if desired.
