How to Make Creamy Mascarpone Polenta With Turkey Bolognese A1

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup (1/2 medium) diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in 2 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  5. Gradually whisk in 1 cup coarse polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding more broth or water as needed to reach desired consistency.
  6. Stir in 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels and continue to simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking spray in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  8. Add 1 pound ground turkey and brown, breaking it up with a spoon.
  9. Add 1/2 cup (1/2 medium) diced onion, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms.
  10. Cook for 10 minutes, until vegetables are softened and turkey is cooked through. If needed, deglaze the pan with 2-3 tablespoons of water.
  11. Stir in 1/4 cup A1 Steak Sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar.
  12. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, adjusting consistency with water if needed.
  13. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  14. Keep the turkey bolognese warm while you finish the polenta.
  15. Check the polenta for desired consistency. Remove from heat and stir in 4 tablespoons butter, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese.
  16. Season the polenta with salt and pepper to taste.
  17. Serve the warm turkey bolognese over a generous portion of creamy polenta. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil.
