I did manage to make these delicious little meatballs and you will love them! They are so good, offer a ton of protein and are easily packable.
Adapted from Clean and Delicious
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. ground turkey
- 3 egg whites (I didn't have any eggs so I used 4 oz of organic tomato paste and a TBS of Grapeseed Oil)
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- 2 tsp dry yellow mustard
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp chipotle pepper spice
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 diced onion (didn't use)
- 2 diced celery stalks (substituted 1/2 zucchini)
Directions:
Pre heat oven to 375 and spray muffin pay with some cooking spray (or coat with a little olive oil)
Mix all the ingredients in one large bowl until well combined. Roll the mixture into balls and place each one in the muffin pan.
Bake for 40 minutes or until cooked through.
Makes 12 muffins.
Enjoy!
I've made meatballs with beef in a muffin tin before. Did you have problems with all the fat/juice hanging around in the tin or is not as much because you used turkey?
ReplyDeleteYep, exactly. 99% lean turkey is the way to go.
DeleteYour meatballs look so good! I always make meatloaf, but never think to make meatballs. I'll have to change things up and make some the next time I buy ground turkey!
ReplyDeleteThey're so easy to snack on, pack in your lunch or make double batches and freeze for later!
DeleteLOVE those meatballs! They are on the agenda for today!
ReplyDeleteAny idea on the macronutrient content of one meatball?
