  3. Add 3 crushed garlic cloves, 1 tbsp tomato purée and 2 tsp dried Mediterranean seasoning (we used Bart) to the pan and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more.
  4. Pour in 400g tin of chopped tomatoes and 400ml chicken stock and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, until the sauce is thickened and the mince is tender. 
  5. Heat the grill to high. Spoon the turkey bolognese over the potatoes, then sprinkle over 75g mixed grated mozzarella and cheddar. Grill for 8-10 minutes until golden, then scatter with fresh flatleaf parsley to serve.
