Easy Turkey Meatballs


EASY TURKEY MEATBALLS

We use ground turkey in my house like it's going out of style! I make a batch of turkey meatballs and turkey chili every week!  Seriously, I am all about EASY. So when these are in the fridge, anyone can go in there and grab one and they make amazing school lunches -- just pair them with a vegetable! 

I did make two separate batches -- one for me and one for the girls. They usually eat what I eat, BUT I added flax seed and oatmeal in mine and I didn't want to risk the chance of them giving me that face that says...."ugh, mom, flax seed....really?"  Progress, not perfection, people. 

Ingredients:

  • Two pounds of ground turkey 
  • Oats/Oatmeal
  • Flax Seed
  • 2 Eggs
  • Italian Seasoning 
  • Breadcrumbs
  • BBQ Sauce
  • Soy Sauce 

Here's the video tutorial:

Batch for the kids with breadcrumbs and bbq sauce

Spray pan with olive oil or coconut spray 
Roll into small balls and place on pan

I put both batches in the oven at the same time at 350 degrees and I set a timer for 20 minutes to make sure I didn't forget them. Here's a confession:  I LOVE EATING CLEAN & HEALTHY, but I always, always forget I am cooking and things tend to get destroyed if I don't set timers!  TIP:  Ground turkey can dry out pretty quickly, so make sure you don't overcook!
