Meatballs are the easiest and most delicious protein source I could think of and the best thing to meal prep weekly. Here is my go to, no frills recipe that you can make apart of your weekly routine.
Ingredients
  • 16 oz organic ground turkey (or chicken)
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast (or grated parmesan)
  • ¾ cup Simple Mills Pizza Dough Mix (or use ¼ coconut flour + ½ almond flour)
  • 1 pasture-raised egg
  • 2 tbsp vegan pesto (or sub olive oil)
  • 1 cup arugula (chopped)
  • 1 tsp ground garlic
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp himalayan pink salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400ยบ. Set aside a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick silpat cookie sheet.
  2. Combine all ingredients from the turkey to the salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
  3. With a small ice cream scooper or tablespoon, scoop out and roll into roughly 3-inch sized balls. Feel free to make them a bit bigger if you want but these were smaller sized and made about 12. Usually I make 9 and make them slightly bigger.
  4. Place a few inches apart on your baking sheet.
  5. Pop in oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, flip with a spatula and cook for an additional 10.
  6. Take meatballs out of oven, allow to cool 10 minutes and serve. These will stay good in a tupperware in the fridge for 5-7 days.
