Turkey Meatballs In Dill Sauce


Ingredients
  • Turkey mince meat (I personally buy a quality turkey meat and make mince myself)
  • Wholemeal breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • Bunch of dill, chopped
  • Spelt or wholemeal flour
  • Tamari sauce
  • Organic chicken or vegetable stock cube
Instructions

Mix meat, onion, egg and breadcrumbs in a bowl and add salt and pepper to taste. You need to be able to make little balls out of the mixture so if it's too loose add more breadcrumbs.
In the mean time boil water in a medium pan (not much, maybe half pan) and add stock cube. Once the water is boiling start rolling the meatballs in a little bit of flour and put them in a pan, let them cook for about 10 mins on medium to high heat stirring from time to time. Add the dill to the pan and after few minutes add Tamari sauce and salt and pepper to taste.
To thicken the sauce a bit mix 3-4 TBSP of flour in a glass of water and once smooth add it to the pan and stir. Cook for about 10 more minutes on low to medium heat.
Serve meatballs with mash potatoes with dill and beetroot salad.
