Author: 
Serves: 4
 
Ingredients
  • 500g turkey mince - I used the 2% fat version
  • 1 onion, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 carrot, peeled and roughly chopped
  • ½ handful fresh basil
  • squirt of ketchup
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 50g breadcrumbs - but I used BBQ toasted bread chips
  • 1 x 140g tin of Borlotti Express Beans
  • 1 tsp olive oil x 2
Instructions
  1. Place the onion and carrot in a food processor and blitz until made into tiny pieces
  2. preheat a little oil in a non stick pan and over a moderate heat, gently saute the carrot and onion for about 7 minutes until they have softened, leave to one side.
  3. Place the turkey mince in a large bowl, add the garlic and pepper and ketchup
  4. in the food processor blitz the beans for a few seconds - you just want them almost crushed
  5. add to the turkey mince
  6. now add the basil and crackers to the food processor and blitz to make herby breadcrumbs and add to the other ingredients
  7. using a fork - or hands like me- mix it all together
  8. make 4 patties that are not too thick, and meatballs like I did, or 5 patties if you prefer
  9. place on a plate, cover and chill for at least 1 hour
  10. when ready to serve:
  11. preheat the oven to 180oC / 160oC fan
  12. heat a little oil in a non stick pan, brown on each side for a few minutes and then transfer to an oven proof dish/tray and continue to cook for 15-20 minutes until cooked right through
  13. serve in a brown roll with some salad and homemade wedges
