Thankfully, I happened to have some kosher ground turkey meat on hand in the freezer to satisfy my craving. I decided that the best thing to do with said turkey was to make some meatballs! Because who doesn't love meatballs.
Naturally, Martha has an entire section of website devoted to meatball recipes. I decided on the Meatball Hero recipe, minus the hero part, because that requires bread and I'm pretty much off bread now.
I made the vegetables according to the instructions - cut up peppers, onion and zucchini and baked them in the oven with olive oil and oregano.
While this baked, I whipped up some turkey meatballs. For this aspect, I employed my own creativity. I took the ground turkey, added in a dash of egg white and oregano, and finished it off with flax seeds and whole wheat flour. I formed this mix into balls and placed these with the vegetables into the oven to cook for a bit.
Simple, but great, healthy comfort food for a random weekday. And there was plenty left over for lunches this week!
