Ingredients (makes 4):
300g sofrito / vegetable base
250g butternut squash, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
Salt & pepper
500g 2% fat turkey mince
Fresh oregano, sage & thyme (or use dried!)
1 chicken stock cube with 200ml water
125g spinach
120g pigs in blankets primula cheese
2 x 39g sheets of filo
4 tsp cranberry sauce
One cal spray
Fry the sofrito until softened the add the squash, garlic, herbs and seasoning and fry for another few minutes.
Add the turkey and cook until browned all over then add the stock. Put on the lid and cook for 20 minutes until reduced down.
Add the spinach and put the lid back on to wilt it, stir through then add the primula cheese. Only add this once the pan is looking really dry - you don’t want it too wet of a mix.
Leave to cool then slice the filo sheet on half. Dollop 1/4 of the mix on each, topped with a teaspoon of cranberry sauce. Carefully roll up whilst tucking in the sides and place on a lined baking sheet.
Spray with one-cal spray, season then bake in a hot oven (210 degrees C) for around 30 minutes or until bronzed and crispy all over.
If you’re watching your weight over Christmas, these are a game changer. Crunchy, juicy, sweet, savoury… everything.
