Preparation

Melt butter in Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery; cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add pancetta and cook 7 minutes. Add ground meats and cook until mixture breaks up but is not yet browned. Add milk and bring to simmer, cook 15 minutes. Add white wine, squeeze tomatoes through fingers into pot. Reduce heat to low and partially cover. Cook 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper. 

You can easily swap the ground meat for ground chicken or turkey.
