Get creative with ways to use these turkey meatballs. Try them on their own, in a sandwich, on top of spaghetti, and more.

Serves 4

Meatballs:

• 1 tbsp. olive oil

• 1 onion, diced

• 2 cloves of garlic

• 1 tsp. dried oregano

• ½ tsp. paprika

• salt & pepper

• 1 lb. lean ground turkey

• 3 tbsp. breadcrumbs

• 1 egg

• 1 tbsp. tamari

• Sauce:

• ½ cup chicken broth

• 1 cup tomato puree

• 1 tsp. coconut sugar

• 2 tsp. dried oregano

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over a medium heat and sauté the 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 with salt and pepper. Mix well using your hands, and form the mixture into meatballs roughly the size of walnuts.

Heat the same skillet over a medium heat and add the meatballs. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned all over. Pour over the chicken broth, cover with a lid and cook for a further 5-6 minutes.

Add in the tomato puree and bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered for about 10-15 minutes, until the sauce has reduced and meatballs are cooked through.

Season the sauce with salt, pepper, coconut sugar and dried oregano. Serve immediately.
