Turkey Meatballs

Hey, another low fat recipe for you, I am serving this one with a Sweet Red Pepper Sauce and wholemeal Pasta! Enjoy!!

Ingredients 1 red pepper 2 slices of wholemeal bread 500g turkey breast mince 1 egg, beaten 100g sweetcorn 1 tsp dried parsley 1 tbsp olive oil 1 small onion, finely chopped 400g can of chopped tomatoes 300g wholewheat pasta

Method

1. Preheat the grill to high. Cut the pepper in half and remove the core then griil, cut-side down for 5 - 8 minutes until the skin is blackened and blistered. Transfer to a plate, cover with a tea-towel and set aside to cool.
2. Put the bread into a food processor and make fine breadcrumbs (you can, like me, use your hands to do this if you haven't got a food processor). Add the turkey mince, egg, sweetcorn, parsley and season. Whizz it again (or smoosh it up with your hands!!). Shape into 20 balls.
3. Heat the oil in a frying papn and cook the onion for 5 minutes until soft. Add the can of tomatoes and then add half a can's worth of water. Bring to a simmer then carefully place in the meatballs.
4. Skin the pepper, cut into strips and add to the pan. Part cover with a lid and simmer very gently for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
5. Cook the pasta and serve.

This recipe serves four people (5 balls each).
