@stephaniebirkett: Turkey Meatball Gumbo

Prep 20 minutes Cook 35 minutes Serves 4 I know, I know we only had this the other week, but it was so damn good that I couldn’t resist making it again, I did change it up. I used turkey breast mince this time, it wasn’t quite as nice as the chicken mince but it was still good and it hit the spot. Ingredients 1 tbsp olive oil 1 large onion chopped small 1 green pepper deseeded, chopped small 3 celery sticks, very finely chopped 2 fat garlic cloves crushed 1 heaped tsp cayenne pepper 1 heaped tsp smoked paprika 1 heaped tsp cumin 1 heaped tsp dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes in 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 bay leaves 400g tin chopped tomatoes 500ml chicken stock 1 heaped tablespoons of plain flour 100g okra cut into 2cm rounds Salt to season to taste Chicken Balls approximately 600g Herbfed Chicken mince 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 heaped teaspoons dried thyme 1 tablespoon fine breadcrumbs (soaked in 1 teaspoon milk for a minute or two) Method Mix the meatball ingredients together in a bowl Then roll in your hands to form 20 small balls. You want them all even sized so that they will cook at the same time. Then heat the oil in a large pan over a medium high heat. Add the balls and cook in batches for about 5 mins to brown all over. Remove the balls with a slotted spoon and set aside.
 Add the onion, green pepper and celery to the pan, put on the lid and cook for 5 mins, stirring occasionally until softened a little. Stir in the garlic, spices, thyme and bay leaf and cook for a further min until fragrant. Add the flour, stirring to coat everything. Pour in the tomatoes and stock, and bring to the boil, Return the chicken balls and any juices to the pan cook for a further 10 mins, then add the okra, Turn down to a simmer, put on the lid on and cook for 5 mins. Then season and serve.
