Healthy Turkey Meatballs

I had turkey on my mind. This happens occasionally when I remember how cheap it is and how much healthier it is than red meat. It is true that I have tofu in the fridge, but somehow it never hits the meat spot!

Truly delicious- make into burgers, meatballs of a meatloaf.

You need:
500g  Turkey
1 egg
1 small- medium sized onion (red looks lovely but white is fine)
herbs- I used thyme, oregano, chives and LOTS of ground black pepper
salt (or I used a kallo stock cube)
Oat meal (one cup)


  1. dice the onion
  2. mix with the mince
  3. add the herbs and stock cube dissolved in a centimetre of water
  4. break in the egg
  5. mix well (even better, whizz in a food processor)
  6. Add the oatmeal until the mixture can absorb no more- it should be dough like. 
Form into patties and shallow fry, of bake in the oven. I'm tempted to bake them in cup cakes cases.
