Turkey Meatballs
We make a lot of meatballs in this house. They are a bit of work up front, but so convenient, and great for a family who all eats different portions. I’ll have 3, my husband has 5 and our 9 month old son eats one. Here is one of our favourites.
From: Eat Clean Diet Cookbook
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs lean ground turkey (I use 2 lbs)
- 1/2 cup vidalia onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup oatbran
- 2 tbls fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbls fresh basil, chopped
- 2 tbls fresh oregano, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl, place egg and oatbran. Add spices and mix well. Add remaining ingredients and mix well with clean hands. Form into balls and place on a prepared cookie sheet. I use parchment paper and non stick spray (makes for super easy clean up!) Bake for about 20 minutes.
