Ingredients
Serves 4.
- 1.25 lb sweet potatoes, cut into thin wedges
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 large egg
- ½ yellow onion, coarsely grated
- 9 oz broccoli, cut into small florets
- 4 oz barbecue sauce
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- salt, to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- black pepper, to taste
Contains: egg. Check the label: wheat (gluten), fish, soy, mustard, celery, sulfites. Always read the labels if you cook for someone with an allergy.
Method
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil, the smoked paprika and a pinch of salt on a large baking tray, spread out in a single layer and roast for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the ground turkey with the eggs, yellow onion, garlic powder, cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of salt and some black pepper. With wet hands, roll into about 20 walnut-sized meatballs.
- Turn the wedges and push them to one side of the tray (or use a second tray if it is crowded). Add the meatballs. Wash your hands after handling the raw poultry. Toss the broccoli with the rest of the oil, add it to the tray and roast for 12 minutes.
- Brush the meatballs with the barbecue sauce and roast for 3–5 minutes more, until sticky and cooked through with no pink inside (165°F), and the wedges are tender and golden.
Leftovers: Keeps in the fridge for 2 days; reheat until piping hot.
