Ingredients

turkey mince 500 g
stuffing mix ¼ tbsp
cranberry sauce 2 tbsp
butter 3 tbsp
garlic granules 2 tsp
plain flour 3 tbsp
wholegrain mustard 1 tsp
dried sage 2 tsp
milk 700 ml
gnocchi 500 g
spinach 1 handful
grated cheddar cheese 80 g

Method

Make & cook the meatballs

Preheat the air fryer to 180°C.
In a bowl mix together the turkey mince, stuffing mix and cranberry sauce. Season with salt and pepper, mix well then shape into meatballs (3 per person).
Cook the meatballs in the air fryer for 8 - 10 minutes. Alternatively, heat a dash of oil in a large frying pan on a medium-heat heat. Working in batches if needed, cook the meatballs until golden brown all over, around 7 minutes.

Cook the cheesy gnocchi

While the meatballs are cooking, make the cheesy gnocchi: Heat the butter in an ovenproof frying pan or a casserole. When the butter starts to foam, stir in the garlic powder and flour and cook for 1 - 2 minutes while stirring.
Gradually whisk in the milk, a little at a time. Keep whisking all the time to prevent any lumps.
Stir in the wholegrain mustard, dried sage and most of the grated cheddar (keep a handful to finish the dish). Add the gnocchi and spinach and cook for 5 mins.

Finish the dish & plate up

Preheat the grill to high.
Add the cooked meatballs to the cheesy gnocchi and scatter over the remaining cheddar. Grill until golden and bubbling, around 10 minutes. Then plate up and enjoy!
