Ingredients

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 stick celery, chopped
  • 2 tbspolive oil
  • ½ Knorr Mixed Herbs FlavourPot
  • 2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
  • 1 Knorr Chicken Stock Pot
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 400g turkey mince
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 3 tbspbreadcrumbs

Method

  1. Using a food processor, blitz together the onion and celery until finely chopped.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery, and the Knorr FlavourPot and cook for 8 minutes, until vegetables have softened and have browned slightly.
  3. Add tomatoes, Knorr Chicken Stock Pot and black pepper. Bring to the boil, simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. In a large bowl add the turkey mince, egg, breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Mix to combine. With wet hands, roll into 12-14 small meatballs.
  5. Heat the remaining oil in a large, non-stick frying pan and fry the meatballs for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden-brown on all sides. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  6. Gently place meatballs into your simmering sauce, and leave for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.

Tip: Serve meatballs with rice or pasta topped with grated parmesan.
