THREE-MEAT FILLING
About 4 cups

Use to fill ravioli, tortellini, or cannelloni. Serve with a tomato sauce or Roasted Red Pepper Sauce.

Heat in a medium skillet over medium-high heat:

  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil

When the butter or oil is hot, add:

  • 12 ounces ground chicken, turkey, pork, or a combination
  • ½ small onion, finely chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Cook, stirring often and breaking up the ground meat, until the mixture is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in:

  • ¼ cup dry white wine

Bring to a boil, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Remove from the heat and let cool. Scrape the meat mixture into a food processor along with:

  • 1½ cups grated Parmesan (6 ounces)
  • 4 ounces mortadella or bologna, chopped
  • 3 ounces prosciutto, chopped
  • Pinch of grated or ground nutmeg

Process until finely chopped and well blended. Taste and adjust the seasonings. The filling can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
