Turkey Meatballs

-          1 onion

-          ½ stalk celery (optional)

-          500g turkey mince

-          ½ cup bread crumbs

-          1 egg

-          1 ½ tsp soy sauce

-          1 ½ tsp Worsteshire Sauce

-          2 tsp tomato chutney

-          1 tsp tomato paste

-          ½ tsp salt

 

Sauce

-          300mls tomato passata

-          ½ onion

-          2 cloves garlic

-          1 tsp tomato paste

-          1 tsp stock paste

-          ½ bunch parsley

 

Method

1.       Preheat oven and baking dish to 180

2.       Place the peeled onion and celery into a mini food processor and process to very finely chopped

3.       Transfer onion/celery to a bowl, add the remainder of the turkey meatball ingredients and stir to combine. Mix well

4.       Roll into walnut size balls

5.       Add a little oil to the baking tray and add the meatballs. Add to oven and set your timer for 30 minutes

6.       In the meantime, add a little oil to a small saucepan, cook onion and garlic until soft then add the passata. Stir through the remainder of the sauce ingredients and bring to a simmer

7.       10 minutes should have passed so take the meatballs out of the oven (that should be sealed on the outside), pour over sauce and return to oven.

8.       When the timer goes to signify 30 minutes, check the meatballs. They will probably only need 10 mins more. Before returning, them to the oven turn each ball over.
