I am under the impression that everyone likes a good (turkey) ragu. Most common rule when cooking one is the longer the better, flavor-wise. However, not everyone has the time and patience for the slow’n’low method, so here’s a recipe for when you have a bit of extra time (one hour) on your hands.
Main characters in this story are turkey mince and grilled peppers, that compliment each other perfectly. A touch of butter and milk make this dish a bit more indulgent. And how important of a part will the cheese have in this story depends on your serving style.

Enjoy,
