Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. In a large bowl, combine the onion, carrot, half the garlic and half the rosemary with the turkey and some seasoning. Shape into 16 meatballs and put in a small baking tray. Toss the potatoes with the remaining garlic, rosemary and the oil, place in a baking tray, then cook both for 20 mins, with the potatoes on top shelf.

  • step 2

    After 20 mins, drain juices off the meatballs, pour cherry tomatoes over, sprinkle with the Parmesan and season. Toss the potatoes, and swap to bottom shelf with the potatoes on top. Cook for another 20 mins until the potatoes are crisp and the meatball sauce is bubbling.

  • step 3

    When the potatoes and meatballs are almost done, cook the broccoli for 3-4 mins, until tender. Sprinkle the basil on top of the meatballs and serve with the crispy potatoes and broccoli.

Delicious. Doubled the garlic and rosemary and added tinned tomatoes to make more of a sauce, and also added some onion granules and smoked paprika to the turkey balls in place of salt. Really moist and juicy.

Very tasty, I added half of finely chopped courgette which I dried off with kitchen towel first then some chopped apricots and a tsp of ginger Definitely one of the best turkey meatballs we've had

I added grated courgette to the mince and used sweet potatoe . I also used grated mozzarella instead of Parmesan

I've made this review I've several times. I add chilli flakes and plenty of seasoning to the meatballs and double the pasta so there is plenty of sauce and sprinkle fresh basil or dried in it. If I'm feeling flush, will she'll out for a passata with herbs and garlic. All good!

Doubled the amount of garlic and rosemary in the meatballs and they had a really nice flavour. Wasn't keen on the sauce at all.
