The other day I was trying to figure out what kind of food I was in the mood for…I took out a pound of ground turkey that morning with no real plan in mind. Quite honestly, I wasn’t excited about anything I could think of to make with it. Then it hit me that pasta and meatballs was EXACTLY what I wanted. The only problem was I was feeling much too lazy to go through all my usual steps in making meatballs. Typically I make them and brown them on all sides in a pan and then cook them the rest of the way in the sauce. That just seemed like way too much work. So I figured, why couldn’t I just make them in a muffin tin? They probably would’t get as brown and crispy on the outside…but that was a risk my lazy self was willing to take!
I preheated my oven to 350 degrees and then I mixed my pound of ground turkey with oatmeal, an egg,frozen pre-chopped onions (great hack! keep these in your freezer and add to dishes when you don’t feel like cutting up a whole onion), Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and italian seasonings. Then I rolled them into balls and plopped them into a muffin tin, sprayed with coconut oil.
