Annabel's turkey meatballs with spaghetti
Suitable for freezing
These turkey balls make a good alternative to roast turkey for children. They
are also good on their own and make delicious finger food. The apple adds a
lovely flavour and keeps them moist. If you can't get turkey mince you could
make these using chicken.
Makes 4 portions
Turkey Meatballs
2 tbsp olive oil
2 large onions chopped
60g white breadcrumbs (approx3 slices, crusts removed)
75 ml milk
325g turkey mince
1 and a half tsp fresh thyme
three quarters tsp salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp flour to dust hands
sunflower oil for frying
Tomato Sauce
Use half the onion from above
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 X 400g tin chopped tomatoes
200 ml water
2 tbsp tomato puree
1 tbsp sugar
half tsp oregano, try fresh
good pinch dried chilli flakes
salt and pepper
250g spaghetti
Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onions gently for about 10 minutes. Use
half the onions for the meatballs and half for the tomato sauce.
Meanwhile soak the breadcrumbs in milk for 10 minutes in a large bowl.
To make the sauce, transfer half the sautéed onion to a pan, add the crushed
garlic and sauté for one minute. Add all the remaining ingredients and simmer
for 10 minutes.
To make the meatballs, add the turkey mince, thyme, sautéed onion, salt and
black pepper to the soaked breadcrumbs and mix together.
Using floured hands, form teaspoons of the mixture into small balls. Heat the
sunflower oil in a frying pan and brown the meatballs. Transfer the meatballs
to the pan of tomato sauce and simmer for 10 minutes uncovered.
Cook the spaghetti according to the instructions on the packet. Drain and toss
with the sauce.
