Baked Turkey Meatballs - 5g Carbs
Recipe from The Comfort Food Cookbook by Robyn Webb
A tip from the author: You can serve these meatballs with whole
grain pasta or brown rice and a side of sauteed broccoli or carrots.
Prep time: 25 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour
1/2 tsp olive oil
1 lb lean ground turkey
1/2 cup carrots, grated
1/2 cup onions grated
1 tsp fresh thyme
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp parsley (finely chopped)
1/4 tsp ancho chile powder
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Use olive oil to lightly oil an 8x8-inch square baking dish.
3. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix all of the remaining ingredients,
except for the Parmesan cheese.
4. To form the meatballs, pull a handful (about 1/2 cup) of the turkey
mixture and toss back and forth in your hands to form a ball. The
ball should form rather easily.
5. Once the meatballs are formed, place them in the baking dish.
6. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and
continue baking for an additional 15 minutes.
7. Remove meatballs from the oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
