    I made 2 minced (Ground) Turkey recipes this week- both were delicious!

    1. Larb (Thai ground chicken/turkey/pork salad)- turkey sauteed with garlic, chilli pepper, ginger then mixed with a dressing made out of thai fish sauce, sugar & lime juice. Add plenty of chopped coriander (Cilantro) and mint and then add coleslaw/stir fry veggies and crushed peanuts to garnish.

    It is SERIOUSLY yummy!!!

    2. Moroccan Turkey meatball tagine (Kefta)- served with herbed cous cous.

    Meatballs: 1 pack minced (Ground) Turkey, 1 egg, 1 small onion- finely chopped, 1.5 tsp ras al hanout (Middle eastern spice mix**)

    ** If you cant get the spice mix make your own using 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp ground coriander, 1/4 tsp paprika.

    Make the meatballs then leave to chill & Firm for 1 hour in the fridge, then bake in oven for 10 mins (They just need part cooking as they will be added to the tagine sauce).

    Tagine Sauce: 3 crushed garlic cloves, 1 large onion- chopped, 1 can chopped tomatoes, 1-2 chopped bell peppers (any colour), 2 tsp honey, 50g chopped dried apricots, 1 tsp parika, 1 chopped chilli/ 1tsp chilli flakes (optional) bunch fresh chopped parsley. Handful of flaked toasted almonds for garnish.

    Make the meatballs as per stage 1, and make the sauce- then add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer on low for 10 further mins.

    Serve with cous cous mixed with lemon juice, fresh chopped parsley, raisins/sultanas & fresh coriander (cilantro)
