turkey meat-za-balls

Even though J-Hay swears that any food is good food by his standards, I just had to wait until my turkey meat-za-balls passed the taste test with the man himself.

Two salads later... my meat-za-balls are all gone! (whenever I say 'meatballs' to myself, I seem to always say it with an Italian accent... don't question me, just accept it!)

KT's Turkey Meat-za-balls

• 1/2 lb (lean) ground turkey
• 1/2 to 1 cup shredded broccoli stems
• 1/2 to 1 cup shredded mushrooms
• 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder to taste

Preheat your oven to 350 F. Shred your broccoli stems and mushrooms. Since I've only got a mini Cuisinart food prep thing, that's what I use. But hey, it works. Then, to a bowl, add your veggies, your ground turkey, seasonings, and then maple syrup. You want the meat sticking together, but not too sticky. Mix all ingredients very well. Then, roll into small balls, and place onto baking sheet. Cook in oven at 350F for about 15-20 minutes.

Sorry for the lack of photographic evidence... I have a propensity for poor picture-taking skills :/ I'll try to be better about my picture-taking skills in the future!


stay hungry, my friends :)
