Italian Turkey Meatballs in High-Fibre Marinara
Method
Shape Meatballs: Combine turkey mince, flaxseeds, and half the herbs, then roll into sixteen even balls.
Sear Meat: Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan and brown the meatballs for 5 minutes.
Simmer Sauce: Add chopped tomatoes, grated carrots, garlic, and remaining herbs to the pan.
Cook Through: Reduce heat and simmer gently for 15 minutes until the sauce thickens and meatballs are cooked.
Chef's Tip
Nutritional Insight: Dense poultry protein preserves lean mass whilst hidden vegetable and flaxseed fibres seamlessly nourish gut microflora to sustain satiety. Culinary Hack: Whisk the minced turkey vigorously with a pinch of sea salt before shaping to bind the proteins for an ultra-tender bite.
