Ingredients
500g turkey mince
1 egg
1/3 cup oats, blitzed
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 onion, diced
2 tbsp olive oil
Method
Mix the turkey, egg, oats, one crushed garlic clove, the parsley, salt and pepper, and roll into 16 balls.
Brown them in 1 tbsp oil in a wide pan, turning, for about 6 minutes, then set aside.
Soften the onion and remaining garlic in the pan, add the tomatoes and oregano, and simmer 5 minutes.
Return the meatballs, cover, and simmer gently 15 minutes until cooked through.
Tips & swaps
Wet your hands before rolling and the mixture will not stick.
Serve over courgette noodles or lentil pasta to keep the whole plate low-GI.
Keeping it
Keeps 3 days in the fridge, 3 months frozen.
Track what it does for you
Whether a meal helps is personal. PCOS Ai logs what you eat alongside your symptoms and cycle, then shows which foods line up with how you actually feel — from your own data, not a generic list.
General wellness information, not medical or dietetic advice. Nothing here diagnoses, treats or cures PCOS. Nutrition figures are per-serving estimates. Check with your doctor or a registered dietitian before making significant changes — especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, diabetic or managing a food allergy.
