Why I Like this Recipe
This is one of my favourite recipes because it feels comforting and balanced. The dumplings are soft and colourful, with a hint of sweetness from the beetroot. The cheese topping is creamy but light, and the turkey lardons add a savoury crunch.
Tips and Variations
- To make it vegetarian, skip the turkey lardons and use roasted mushrooms or courgettes instead.
- Add a poached egg on top or stir cottage cheese into the topping for extra protein.
- Use only light Philadelphia if you want a lower-fat option.
- Add garlic or fresh herbs such as parsley or dill to the cheese mixture.
- Serve with a salad of rocket, cucumber, and lemon for added freshness.
Meal Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a non-stick pan with a splash of water or milk to keep the dumplings soft. I don't recommend freezing, as it changes the texture.
