I have seen many recipes for turkey meatloaf balls or turkey muffins so I did not come up with the overall concept myself, but I did concoct this dinner based on my own taste preferences! I basically just mixed one pound of organic turkey meat with the ingredients pictured below. I LOVE fennel and sage and am usually pretty generous with these spices. I used a couple sprinkles of worcestershire and a few dashes of the celery salt, pepper and onion flakes.
To the meat and spices, I added some hydrated chia seeds (these were the binding ingredient as opposed to eggs, and added a ton of nutrition) and some sautéed apples and celery. Don't ask...all of this just sounded good together! Sometimes I just go with it (it being my brain)!
The mixture was pretty wet and sticky so I added some whole wheat bread crumbs and then rolled them into balls, maybe about 2 inches in diameter. I didn't want to make them too small bc I was afraid they would've been dry. I baked the balls at 350 for about 30-40 minutes (I can't remember exactly how long they cooked).
These came out SO GOOD! I made some brown rice and broccoli to go with them and the dinner was delicious! Everyone approved.
