I'm trying to stay true to my new years resolution of eating healthier, but 4 days of terrible mass produced food at my company conference set me back a bit. My first night home I went to my default: ground turkey. Tonight, I made low carb turkey taco meatballs stuffed with sharp cheddar cheese. I didn't get extra lean turkey this time to make sure the meatballs stayed moist and I would suggest doing the same since it made a pretty big difference. Here is the recipe:
1 pkg Ground Turkey
8 Cheddar Cheese Cubes (or 1 per meatball)
3 Tbs of Taco Seasoning
1/2 Tsp of Garlic Powder
1 Egg
1 Green Onion, chopped
Sour Cream
Louisiana Hot Sauce
Fresh Salsa
Mix ground turkey with egg, taco seasoning, 5 hits of Louisiana Hot Sauce, and garlic powder. Let set 5 minutes for flavors to mellow. Scoop turkey mixture with ice cream scoop to ensure even sized meatballs. Press 1 cube of cheese into center of meatball and form the meat around the cheese. Make sure no cheese is showing otherwise it will bubble out during cooking. Place meatballs in a 400 degree oven for 17-20 minutes or until cooked through. I mixed a few tablespoons of sour cream with Louisiana Hot Sauce and used this as a dipping sauce. This was a very healthy alternative to what I really want to eat. Pork and beef meatballs stuffed with mozzarella cheese. Maybe I'll give in this weekend. I'll keep you posted.
