For the Meatballs

1.

Preheat your oven to 180’C.

2.

Combine all ingredients until well combined (either in a food processor or mix together by hand).

3.

Form into 12 even shaped meatballs and bake in the oven for around 45 minutes at 180’ or until golden.

For the Sauce

1.

Preheat oven to 200°C.

2.

Add capsicum halves, onion, and garlic to a tray.

3.

Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt + pepper.

4.

Roast 20–25 minutes until blistered and soft. Transfer hot capsicums to a bowl and cover for 5 minutes (helps loosen skins).

5.

Peel skins off for a sweeter, silkier sauce… optional.

6.

Add capsicums, roasted onion, roasted garlic (squeezed from skins), and broth to a blender.

7.

Blend until creamy and smooth. Season to taste.

For Serving

Notes

How is this recipe good for the brain?

Turkey

Rich in Tryptophan
Tryptophan is an essential amino acid found in turkey that is a precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood, sleep, and anxiety. Higher serotonin levels can improve mood and cognitive function.

Contains B Vitamins
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): Essential for neurotransmitter synthesis, including serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which are critical for mood regulation and cognitive function.

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin): Vital for maintaining healthy nerve cells and producing DNA and RNA. It also plays a role in preventing brain shrinkage and cognitive decline.

Niacin (Vitamin B3): Supports energy production in brain cells and helps repair DNA.
