Instructions
Heat the butter and oil over high heat in a large pan until the butter foams. Add all of the ground meat (turkey, beef and pork). Brown and cook until almost done.
Add the prosciutto and mortadella and cook for a few minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool.
Run the mixture through a food processor until it's like a paste.
Add the beaten egg and parmesan cheese. Mix.
Add salt and pepper and ¼ teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg. Mix.
Refrigerate until you're ready to start making your tortellini.
Notes
*I find the mortadella can overpower the filling, so I only use 2 ounces. Traditionally you'd use 4 ounces.
