Veggie turkey meatballs

I've been trying to find fast, creative ways to eat as many veggies as possible. Let's just say that this week I was mostly unsuccessful. I ate a lot of unclean trader joes food. It was so good! I didn't feel too well after millions of gf Oreos and chocolate coconut ice cream though. 

After running from meeting to meeting all week and wanting to get myself back on the healthy train, I decided on ground turkey for dinner. I saw a recipe on Martha Stewart's blog from Jessica Alba. It included celery, carrots, onions and garlic inside turkey meatballs. It sounded really delicious. So I adapted it and made my own. My roommate was working so I enjoyed eating my dinner by myself before another meeting. 

What you'll need: 

1 pkg ground turkey

2 tbsp chopped onion

2 tbsp chopped celery 

2 tbsp chopped carrots 

1 egg

1/4 cup oats

1 c marinara sauce 

3 tbsp BBQ sauce 

1 tsp black pepper 

1/2 tsp salt

Method: 

Combine egg, ground turkey, oats, chopped veggies, salt and pepper into a bowl. Once mixed well form into small balls and place in oiled pan skillet. Brown all sides until well cooked (no pink inside obviously) so about 15 mins. 

Add marinara and BBQ to skillet and stir. Once sauce is heated pour into bowl and enjoy. I ate mine with sweet potatoe chips and an avocado & kale salad.
