Tonight I created a recipe that will definitely be repeated! Clean eating turkey meatballs!
I started with ground turkey...only 93% lean, but pretty good. I diced 1/3 onion and 6 mini sweet peppers and sauteed them until they were soft, then combined with 1 egg white, garlic powder and 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce. shaped into balls, put in pan with 1/2 tbsp olive oil. cooked over medium heat with lid on, flipped then took lid off to cook off liquid. Moved balls to side and added a can of dices tomatoes plus 1 tsp dried basil. When almost ready I put 8 cups of fresh spinach on top to wilt.
I served the my son's 6 meatballs with whole wheat pasta & parmesan, cucumber and grape tomatoes, my daughter's with 5 meatballs brown rice and cucumber, my husbands with whole wheat pasta, meatballs, and spinach, mine was spinach and meatballs! Lots of spinach was key. I was so proud sitting at the table tonight watching my family eat every last bite of their "clean" meal!
I wish I had taken a photo as it looked great and tasted delicious! PLUS it followed the rules for my eating plan this week!
Love the recipe and versatility -it is a challenge keeping all the appetites satisfied.
