Love meatballs? Try this low-calorie recipe that uses turkey mince, served in a hot pepper sauce

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp plain flour
1 onion , finely chopped
1 green pepper , deseeded and finely chopped
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves , chopped
1 bay leaf
400g can plum tomato
1 chicken stock cube
dash of Tabasco sauce or hot pepper sauce
4 spring onions , finely sliced
handful coriander , roughly chopped
rice or mash , to serve
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
500g pack turkey mince
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Put the butter in a pan over a low heat. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring all the time to make a roux. Cook until the roux is hazelnut brown in colour - make sure that it doesn't burn. Tip in the vegetables, garlic and bay leaf, stir briefly, then pour in the tomatoes and 1½ cans of water. Crumble in the stock cube, add the hot sauce, then cover and cook for 15 mins, stirring occasionally, while you make the meatballs.
  • Work the spice and some seasoning into the turkey mince. Try not to over-handle or it will toughen. Shape into 20 meatballs.
  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan and quickly brown the meatballs in batches until they are nicely coloured on all sides.
  • Stir the sauce, then drop in the meatballs and cook on a low heat for 10 mins until the turkey is cooked through. Scatter over the spring onions and coriander, and serve with some rice or mash.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of meats: A combination of ground beef, pork, and veal will give your meatballs a richer flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the meat: Overmixing can make your meatballs tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Use your hands to shape the meatballs: This will help to keep them moist and tender.
  • Brown the meatballs before baking: This will help to seal in the flavors and prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes these meatballs special. Choose a sauce that you love and that will complement the flavors of the meatballs.
  • Serve the meatballs hot: Meatballs are best served hot, right out of the oven. This is when they are at their most flavorful and juicy.
