Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. olive oil

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 2 cloves of garlic

  • 1 tsp. dried oregano

  • ½ tsp. paprika

  • salt & pepper

  • 1 lb. (450g) lean ground turkey

  • 3 tbsp. breadcrumbs

  • ½ cup (120ml) chicken stock

  • 1 cup (240ml) tomato passata

  • 2 tsp. dried oregano

    onion and garlic until softened about 3-4 minutes. Add the dried oregano and paprika powder, season with salt and pepper and transfer to a large bowl.

  • Add in the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, tamari, and season. Mix well using your hands, and form the mixture into meatballs roughly the size of walnuts.
