“Just put everything on a baking tray and pop it in the oven – what could be easier? Chicken mince also works well in this recipe," says Michelle Bridges. This is an edited extract from 12WBT Low-carb Solution by Michelle Bridges (published by Macmillan Australia, RRP $36.99).

500g turkey mince
3 tsp dried oregano
Finely grated zest & juice of 1 lemon
300g potatoes, peeled then cut into 5mm-thick slices
Olive oil spray
250g green beans, trimmed
400g can cannellini beans, drained then rinsed
200g cherry tomatoes, halved
3 tbs baby basil leaves

Method

1.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
2.

Combine the turkey mince, oregano and lemon zest in a bowl and season with freshly ground black pepper. Roll the mixture into walnut-sized balls.
3.

Arrange the potato slices over the prepared tray and add the meatballs. Lightly spray with olive oil and bake for 15 minutes.
4.

Add the green beans, cannellini beans and tomatoes to the tray. Increase the temperature to 210°C (190°C fan-forced) and bake for a further 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden and the meatballs are cooked through.
5.

Divide the meatballs and vegetables among four plates and drizzle with the lemon juice. Scatter with the basil leaves and serve.
