Procedures:

1	To lighten a traditional bolognese sauce, i substituted lean ground turkey for the more traditional ground beef.
2	It"s necessary to taste and adjust seasonings as you go along, since the flavor of turkey is not as strong as beef.
3	I"ve added a generous amount of oregano and garlic for spice and sauteed the meat in extra-virgin olive oil for more flavor.
4	Have patience with this sauce - the long, slow simmer is what makes it so delicious.
5	Freshly grated parmesan is perfect to serve alongside.
6	Place oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-low heat.
7	Add the celery, carrot, onion and garlic, then cook 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8	Raise heat to medium and add the ground turkey and oregano.
9	Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring and breaking up the meat, until it begins to brown.
10	Add the wine and simmer for about 10-12 minutes.
11	Add the half-and-half and simmer until nearly reduced, about 6-8 minutes.
12	Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and broth.
13	Bring to a gentle simmer and cook over medium-low heat, partially covered, for 1 hour, stirring a few times.
14	Season to taste with salt and pepper.
15	Serve hot over just-cooked linguine and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
