Ingredients (serves 12 | makes 12 mini rolls; or 4-6 larger rolls )

800 grams Ingham's Extra Lean Summer Turkey Mince
1 Carrot, finely diced
1 Onion, finely diced
3 sprigs Thyme, fresh & destalk
1 Egg
1 cup Shredded mozarella cheese
12 Fresh bread rolls - use mini rolls or larger rolls if you like (less if larger)

Method

Pre-heat moderate oven on 170-180 degrees celsius.
Prep the bread rolls - cut top out of each roll to create a lid. Partially pull out some of the bread to create a little hollow for the mince.
Finely dice carrot & onion. Destalk the thyme.
Combine all ingredients into a large mixing bowl - turkey mince, bread crumbs from hollowing out the rolls, onion, cheese, carrot, egg, fresh thyme (destalk first), salt & pepper to season.
Spoon mixture into each roll, about the size of a meatball. Fill up the hollow of each roll with turkey mince mixture. Add a dab of your favourite sauce (optional). Place bread lid back on top of the roll and press the lid down to secure.
Bake in moderate oven on 170-180 degrees celsius for approximately 15-20 minutes or until cooked.

Filling up breadrolls is nice. I wonder if in this case the veggie turkey mince mixture is cooked enough in the 15-20min as it goes in raw ? The bread would be overdone when extending the time

Haven’t seen anything like this before but it looks very appetising.
Great alternative to using beef or pork mince so it’ll be a nice change.
Thanks for sharing.

Turkey is so under rated for a lunch meat

Yum! This sounds like a great lunch box option that doesn’t need heating up

I remember Ingham having a turkey mince promotion encouraging people to submit new recipes. I would never have thought of putting the raw mince in the roll to cook.
