Hey guys! I apologize for it taking me so long to post this recipe (I shared it on my IG account last week), but I will try and keep some recipes coming for you! I wanted to share a
simple, delicious recipe that our family has been using on repeat lately. This is great for families with picky little ones especially when it comes to eating vegetables. Both of our kiddos love these so much and I hope yours do as well!

Ingredients:
2 lb extra lean ground turkey
1 head of organic broccoli
Lots of
Flavor God lemon garlic seasoning
Dash of Himalayan sea salt
1 tbsp of organic olive oil
*optional: splash of
Bragg's Liquid Aminos
(If you don't have a lemon garlic seasoning, you can use spicy seasonings or even just salt and pepper. I prefer my food spicy, but often leave the spice out so the kids can enjoy as well. This makes a lot of turkey meatballs, so you can reduce with 1 lb turkey and 1/2 head of broccoli)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Break the broccoli into small florets and place in food processor.
Process the broccoli until it is in a finer (rice-like) consistency and dump into mixing bowl.
Add ground turkey, seasonings, salt and olive oil. Mix all ingredients.
Scoop out into balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 350 for about 15-20 min (less or more..cook until turkey is cooked through when cutting a meatball in half)
These aren't much to look at. I know I've said this before, but when it comes to getting picky kids to eat healthy options...presentation is
everything. So I urge you to take the time and ball these better than I did. Mine resemble more of a plop of meat ice cream ;) These taste awesome as leftovers cold or reheated. I like to make these on a Monday, and then I consider them our emergency dinner for the moments when we are too exhausted to cook or unprepared. Which is basically every night. These really are a meal all wrapped in a tiny ball. Add some carbs to it if you wish, maybe some sweet potatoes, roasted cauliflower, or carrots, and you have a meal! Have a great weekend guys!
