Making Turkey or Quorn Ragu Sauce
Asked on 9 Feb 2019 by Simon01
I have made Delia's Batch Bake Ragu Bolognese recipe (and the related recipes) for years. However, my husband was recently diagnosed with a health issue and has been advised to eliminate red meat from his diet. I wondered if minced turkey or Quorn would work as a substitute or would they compromiser the favours.
Thank you. Eileen
PS Can't find any Delia recipes using turkey mince or Quorn.
Hello Eileen,
The cooking times vary for beef, turkey and quorn mince.
So in both cases if making a ragu I would cook the sauce first on its own for an hour or so, then for turkey – lightly brown the turkey, add it to the sauce and simmer for 30 minutes. For a ragu using quorn, again cook the sauce first, stir in the minced quorn and simmer for 5 minutes.
Best wishes
