The mixture of herbs and spices in these bite – sized turkey balls ensures that each one just bursts with flavour.

Fantastic to serve as a lunch with wholemeal wraps filled with crisp green salad or for parties on a cocktail stick. If you prefer you could replace the turkey with chicken or lamb.

Serve with a spicy light mayo dressing or sweet chilli dipping sauce.
