Recipe Information
Step by step guide to making Spiced turkey meatballs
- Heat ½ a tablespoon of the oil in a pan and cook the onion for 5 minutes, until soft. Put it into a bowl and stir in the turkey mince, red chilli and tomato purée. Mix until fully combined, then shape into 12 balls (remember to wash hands carefully after handling raw meat).
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in the same pan, on a medium heat and fry the meatballs, for 10-15 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
- Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan and cook the courgettes for 5-10 minutes, until golden. Drain the cooked courgettes on kitchen paper to remove excess oil before serving.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to pack instructions. In a small mixing bowl, hand blend the chopped tomatoes to make a smooth sauce (or you can do this in a food processor).
- When the pasta is cooked, drain and put it back onto a medium heat, adding in the blended tomatoes and mixed herbs. Cook for 5 minutes, then stir through the courgettes.
- Serve the tomato and courgette pasta with the turkey meatballs.
Make it veggie: Use 1 tablespoon of oil in step 1 and cook the courgettes with the onion. Place into a bowl and stir through the red chilli and tomato purée. Set aside. Continue with step 4 to make the sauce and cook the pasta. Stir through the spicy courgettes and 300g quartered, grilled tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes to warm through.
