Preparation of the meatballs
- Chop the onion and fry in a frying pan with olive oil over a medium heat until golden brown.
- Chop the pepper and carrot into very small pieces and set aside.
- Chop the turkey and mix well with the carrot, pepper, 1/2 of the poached onion, salt and pepper. Mix well and make small balls with your hands.
- Coat the meatballs in chickpea flour and seal them in a frying pan with a finger of olive oil. Just seal them as they will be cooked with the sauce.
Preparation of the sauce
- Slice the garlic and fry until golden brown. Add the diced red pepper and fry together for a couple of minutes.
- Add the remaining 1/2 onion already poached, the white wine and the stock. Let the sauce cook until it thickens and mash so that there are no chunks of vegetables left.
