225g cooked chicken/turkey (roast pieces in oven at 180 degrees for about 20 mins)

30g breadcrumbs (1 slice)

75g pancetta

1 garlic clove

1 egg

1 tbsp olive oil

Put turkey/chicken into processor with pancetta and garlic and blend until finely chopped.

Add breadcrumbs and egg and blend again.

Roll mixture into walnut-sized balls and fry in oil until starting to brown.  They can be cooled and frozen at this point or continue cooking until browned.

Boil pasta in separate pot and cook garlic bread.

Once meatballs are browned, lower heat and add pasta sauce – once warmed through, serve with pasta (and garlic bread).  Alternative to ready-made pasta sauce – add 500ml passata, a little salt, sugar and dash of chilli sauce to browned meatballs and simmer for 10-15 mins.
