Heat the olive oil in a saucepan

Add the chopped onion, celery and carrot and cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes or until the onion is translucent

Add the garlic and cinnamon and cook for another 10 minutes or so until the onions are soft and golden in colour

Add the turkey breast mince or soya to the pan and raise the heat to moderate

Cook, stirring constantly, for 3-5 minutes or until the turkey is crumbly and has turned white or until the soya mince is cooked

Add the canned tomatoes and balsamic vinegar and stir

Bring to a boil, then and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the sauce is thick

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil
