- Salt and black pepper
Method
- Heat the oil in a pan and cook the onion for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and turkey mince and fry for 5–6 minutes, until browned.

Swaps and tips
Use beef mince if you prefer. Ready-spiralised courgette is sold in most supermarkets, or serve over shredded cabbage instead.
