Lemony Turkey Kofta Bowl Recipe | Healthy Dinner

Planning meals for the week can save time, reduce food waste, and make busy days feel so much easier. This 7 day meal plan brings together a full week of delicious, easy-to-follow recipes, along with a handy shopping list so you can get everything you need in one go.

Whether you are cooking for yourself, feeding the family, or simply trying to feel more organised in the kitchen, this weekly meal plan is designed to take the stress out of deciding what to cook each day. Each recipe has been chosen to help you enjoy tasty, satisfying meals without the last-minute panic of wondering what’s for dinner.

Using a meal plan is also a great way to make the most of your ingredients, keep your food shop focused, and avoid unnecessary spending. With the recipes and shopping list already planned out for you, all you need to do is shop, cook, and enjoy.

Tips for Easy Meal Planning

Before you start, check your cupboards, fridge, and freezer to see what you already have. This helps you avoid buying duplicates and makes your weekly shop more budget-friendly.

Try to plan meals that use some of the same ingredients across the week. For example, vegetables, herbs, cheese, pasta, rice, or cooked meats can often be used in more than one recipe, helping to reduce waste.

Batch cooking can also make the week much easier. Prepare sauces, chop vegetables, or cook extra portions where possible so you have leftovers for lunch or another quick dinner.

Keep your shopping list organised by section, such as fresh produce, meat, dairy, store cupboard items, and frozen foods. This makes the food shop quicker and less stressful.

Most importantly, keep your meal plan flexible. Life gets busy, so it’s fine to swap days around, use leftovers, or choose a quicker option when needed.

*This post was created in Partnership with Zanussi, and I was gifted this oven, however, all thoughts and opinions are honest and my own.*

Can you believe that we are in December already? I really don't know where this year has gone! Have you seen that I am partnering with Zanussi UK on their Fakeaways campaign? I am the 'Queen of the Fakeaway' after all!

I have already shared a delicious Chilli Beef Fakeaway Recipe and Chicken Katsu Curry that I created with my Zanussi AirFry oven, and to celebrate December I am sharing this special Christmas themed Fakeaway!

My Extra Special Christmas Burger and Mini Roasties!

Christmas Burger & Mini Roast Potatoes | Zanussi Fakeaway | AD

A turkey burger with crispy red onions, stuffing, pig in blanket, cranberry sauce, and delicious, crispy AirFry mini roast potatoes!!

Zanussi provides clever, simple, solutions for ease of use and enjoyment at home, and it is with great excitement that I can say that I have partnered up with them to share some brand new Fakeaway recipes, which I created using their Zanussi ZOPNA7X1 oven with AirFry technology.

Gone are the days where I need to store a big, bulky extra air frying unit. The Zanussi oven has it all built-in one. This makes life so much easier and is perfect for making your own Fakeaways.

The AirFry technology is literally PERFECT for making the easiest and crispiest roast potatoes I've ever made! No need to parboil the potatoes either, and were ready in just 40 mins.

As well as the roasties, the perforated tray helped create delicious crispy red onions to go at the bottom of my burger.

Turkey Christmas Burger & Mini Roasties Recipe

Recipe makes enough for 4 burgers

Calories: 488 per serving

You will need:

For the Turkey Burger:

450g low-fat turkey mince

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

salt & pepper

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp dried sage

For the mini roasties:

3 large potatoes, peeled

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1 stock cube, crumbled up

large pinch of salt & pepper

low-calorie cooking spray

Crispy Onions:

1 large red onion

Low-calorie cooking spray

1 tsp balsamic vinegar

To serve with the burger:

Stuffing (Made up as per pack instructions)

Pig in blanket (Wrap low-fat sausage with streaky bacon)

Cranberry Sauce

Roll of your choice

Method:

For best results, use the Zanussi oven. Otherwise, you could use any Air fryer instead. Alternatively, try my other roast potato recipe.

Preheat Zanussi oven to 190 degrees on the AirFry setting or 200 degrees fan.

To prepare your mini roasties, cut your peeled potatoes into small roast potato shapes.

Add them to a bowl and spray generously with low-calorie cooking spray. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, crumbled up stock cube and a generous amount of salt and pepper in with the potatoes. Mix well until all the potatoes are covered in the oil spray and the seasoning.

Lay them out onto the AirFry Tray, put in the centre of the oven and set the timer for 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, chop up the red onion into small slices. Drizzle with the balsamic and some low-calorie spray. These will be added for the last 20 minutes of cooking.

Prepare the burgers by mixing all the ingredients together with your hands, and shaping them into a burger shape.

You can either add these into the oven for 30 minutes using the AirFry to get a crispy outside, or you can fry them in a pan until cooked all the way through.

Add the onions for the last 20 minutes of cooking.

Prepare the stuffing and pig in blanket ready to serve.

When the roasties and red onions are ready, remove the tray from the oven.

I added the onions on the bottom, then the turkey burger, stuffing, pig in blanket and cranberry.

Notes:

For best results, use the Zanussi AirFry oven. If you don't have one, you could use any air fryer instead.
