Southwest Turkey Meatballs

Adapted from another Gina’s Skinny Recipes! Love her stuff!! But I’m going to try them in my crockpot!! YUM!!! Honestly, fresh goes all the way! Fresh herbs just does it for me! I honestly didn’t run the garlic, cilantro and scallions through the food processor, I just added them into the mash and went with it! So glad I did!

Ingredients:

  • 1-1/4 lbs 99% lean ground turkey
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 scallions
  • 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 egg

Directions:

Lightly spray baking pan with oil. Preheat oven to 400°.

Place garlic, cilantro, and scallions into a small food processor or chopper and pulse a few times until finely minced.

In a large bowl combine turkey, chopped herbs, bread crumbs, egg, cumin, salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix well and measure 1/4 cup meat, then divide in two so you end up with each meatball 1/8 cup in size.
