Turkey Meatballs
What you need
1⁄2 pound extra-lean ground turkey breast (fat content should be less than 3 grams per serving)
1⁄4 cup rolled oats
1 1⁄2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
1⁄2 teaspoon low-calorie or calorie-free seasoning (e.g., Mrs. Dash)
1⁄2 tablespoon olive oil
1⁄2 small onion, minced
Directions
Place turkey in a medium bowl. Add oats, ketchup, and seasoning. Mix by hand and form into meatballs 1 inch in diameter. Set aside. Place olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet on medium heat. When oil is hot, sauté onion until translucent. Add meatballs, being sure not to crowd the pan. Cook until brown on all sides and the interior of a tested meatball shows no pink. You may be required to prepare two or more batches to cook all the turkey. Serve with your choice of low-calorie, low-fat sauce for dipping.
Makes 2 servings and takes less than 20 minutes to prepare
