Sweet and Savoury Turkey Meatballs with Mango Chutney

I've made no secret over the last few months about the weight loss journey I've been on - especially because I am having so much success this time around.

It can mostly be attributed, I think, to my new found passion for creating recipes that are lighter but lose nothing in the flavour or texture department.

But I've also retrained myself to eat less and more slowly by using smaller plates and taking the time to make the plate look beautiful.

I'm not sure why this is, but the more beautiful a dish looks, the more satisfying it becomes. And the more satisfying it is, the less you have to eat.
