Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp plain flour
1 onion , finely chopped
1 green pepper , deseeded and finely chopped
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves , chopped
1 bay leaf
400g can plum tomato
1 chicken stock cube
dash of Tabasco sauce or hot pepper sauce
4 spring onions , finely sliced
handful coriander , roughly chopped
rice or mash , to serve
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
500g pack turkey mince
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Put the butter in a pan over a low heat. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring all the time to make a roux. Cook until the roux is hazelnut brown in colour - make sure that it doesn't burn. Tip in the vegetables, garlic and bay leaf, stir briefly, then pour in the tomatoes and 1½ cans of water. Crumble in the stock cube, add the hot sauce, then cover and cook for 15 mins, stirring occasionally, while you make the meatballs.
  • Work the spice and some seasoning into the turkey mince. Try not to over-handle or it will toughen. Shape into 20 meatballs.
  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan and quickly brown the meatballs in batches until they are nicely coloured on all sides.
  • Stir the sauce, then drop in the meatballs and cook on a low heat for 10 mins until the turkey is cooked through. Scatter over the spring onions and coriander, and serve with some rice or mash.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound hot Italian turkey or chicken sausage, casings removed
1/4 pound andouille turkey or chicken sausage, crumbled or diced into very small pieces
1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more if needed
12 ounces spaghetti
One 24-ounce jar tomato and basil pasta sauce, such as Classico® Tomato & Basil Pasta Sauce
Grated Parmesan, for serving, optional
Chopped fresh parsley, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the Italian sausage, andouille sausage, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning and egg to a medium bowl and mix together using your hands until well combined. Form the mixture into small to medium meatballs (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each; 16 total meatballs) and set aside on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Add the olive oil to a large pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the meatballs in batches, turning them over on all sides to make sure they are browned but not completely cooked through, until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Add more olive oil if needed to cook all the meatballs.
  • As the meatballs cook, boil the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain.
  • Once the meatballs are browned, add them all back to the pan and pour in the pasta sauce. Add the reserved pasta water, then cover, bring to a simmer and cook until the meatballs are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Either toss the cooked spaghetti into the sauce or spoon the sauce and meatballs over the cooked spaghetti. Garnish with Parmesan and parsley if desired and serve.
