GREEK MEATBALLS – HEALTHY & GLUTEN-FREE

Please See Other Recipes

One of my biggest struggles with eating healthy is getting enough lean protein throughout the day. Anyone else with me on this? I’ve found that having things such as turkey meatballs, chicken breasts, or turkey burgers prepped and ready to eat is a huge help in keeping me full and energized throughout the week. I love making my healthy chicken salad, for example. Then at lunch time, all I do is throw it on a bed of greens and chow down. It doesn’t always have to be meat, either, we love this chickpea salad too. But I do find protein from meat keeps me energized through the afternoon better for some reason.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 package (16oz) Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast
• 1/4 cup grated red onion
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta (reduced fat works fine, don’t use fat-free)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (more to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (omit if using less lean cuts of ground turkey)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to broil (high). Position oven rack 4-5 inches from broiler.
2. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. I recommend using your hands so you don’t overmix.
