Does anyone have a recipe for some slimming world friendly meatballs?

I was going to buy the ones they sell but thought it would be better to make my own especially as I have a lot of quorn mince in the freezer.

    I do have a recipe somewhere....(famous last words), but, until it appears I'll try and remember what I can.

    Finely chop an onion.
    Mix that with the quorn mince and some chopped herbs.
    Season with salt and pepper.
    Beat an egg and add a little at a time to the quorn mixture mixing it in.

    When the mix sticks together, get a small amount in your hands and form into a ball.
    Put into the fridge to chill until needed.

    Put a tomato sauce/passata mix into a pan and add the meatballs and cook through.

    I've not tried this with Quorn, so can't really comment on how well it will stick together in a ball shape. :confused:

    There's a recipe for slimming world meatballs posted by Fiesty Fairy here that uses quorn and another one here posted by consultant1 who is a slimming world consultant that uses meat of your choice so I imagine you could substitute with quorn.

    whatatwit - thanks I will give those a try

    pink-winged - unfortuntely the first link is for using the pre-made meatballs. I will try the recipe in the second link if whatatwit's doesn't work.

    Thank you

    A quick question; does anybody know if it's possible to make meatball style things out of Quorn mince or TVP please? Any ideas or recipes? Would be very grateful!

    Thank you!

    I cheat and buy the Quorn ready made swedish meatballs as I could never get them to stick with egg/breadcrumbs even tried sweet potato mashed up but they just fell apart. Would love to know if anyone has done it successfully

    I keep seeing that Jamie Oliver ad and for some reason it has made me fancy meatballs and pasta!! I don't eat meat but wondered if it is possible to use quorn mince. Has anyone got a recipe I could use?

    But yes you can buy Quorn Meatballs ready made. Surely a veggie burger recipe but rolled into ball would work?
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
