TURKEY MEATBALLS
Download RecipeThis is an easy family mid-week meal that uses turkey mince as it’s a healthier alternative to beef. We have used a shop bought passata or pasta sauce to keep this quick and hassle free! The meatball is a mysterious staple in food history, as no one really knows where and how the first meatball originated. Meatballs come in all sizes and are found in cultures across the world, from the Swedish kottbullar (the giant meatballs popularised by Ikea) and Chinese lion’s heads balls to Spanish albondigas and Vietnamese pho bo vien (noodle soup with meatballs).
