Ingredients

1 pound Ground turkey extra-lean

3 cloves Garlic minced

1/4 cup Onion finely chopped

1/4 cup Fresh parsley chopped

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon Ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon Dried oregano

1 large egg beaten

1/2 cup brown rice cooked and cooled

olive oil spray


Directions

1. Combine all the ingredients except the olive oil spray in a large mixing bowl and shape into about 30 meatballs 1 inch across. 2. Spray a large nonstick skillet generously with olive oil. 3. Cook the meatballs for 5 to 6 minutes, working in batches if your pan is not large enough to fit them all, occasionally moving around to brown all sides. Variation: Once all the meatballs are cooked, add a jar of low-sodium marinara sauce (preferably organic and with minimal sugar) to the pan. Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for 20 minutes. These sauced meatballs are great by themselves or served over quinoa, farro or whole-wheat pasta at lunch, or over spaghetti, squash or other veggies for dinner.
