Servings: persons

¼ cup olive oil
2 large onions, chopped fine about 3 cups
4 stalks celery, chopped fine about 1 cup
2 medium carrots, chopped fine about 1 cup
5 garlic cloves, minced about 1 1/2 tablespoons
12 lb ground beef
1 lb ground turkey, not ground white meat as it is too lean and chewy
1 lb ground veal
½ cup whole milk (optional)
1 cup white wine
1 (28 ounce) can whole canned tomatoes, crushed by hand with all juices reserved
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons beef base
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ cup tomato paste
salt and pepper

1
Place a heavy bottomed Dutch-oven over medium heat, add olive oil and heat until the oil starts to shimmer.
2
Add onions, celery, carrot and garlic and cook until the onions are transparent, about 10 minutes.
3
Turn heat to high and add all meats and cook for 15-20 minutes while stirring constantly to prevent large clumps of meat from forming.
4
Once all of the liquid has cooked off and the bottom of the pans starts to brown, add the milk (if you are using it) and simmer until almost evaporated.
5
Add the wine and hand-crushed tomatoes and simmer 15 minutes.
6
Add broth, beef base, thyme and tomato paste and bring to a simmer.
7
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 hours or until meat is very tender, and ground turkey is no longer chewy.
8
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
