    Easy and delicious weeknight meal!

    You can serve them over zucchini pasta, regular pasta, in lettuce wraps, or on their own!

    Ingredients:

    • 1 lb. ground turkey breast or chicken breast
    • 3 garlic cloves
    • 3 scallions/green onions (whites)
    • 1 zucchini, shredded
    • 1.5 teaspoon tamari or low sodium soy sauce
    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
    • 2 tablespoon chia seeds

    Recipe:

    • Mix all ingredients together until combined
    • Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes;
    • Set the oven to 400 degrees at this time and spray a baking sheet with oil of choice
    • Wet your hands and roll the meat mixture into 1 inch balls, careful to handle them gently. You don't want to pack them too tight or the meatballs will be too dense.
    • Set in the oven for 8 minutes, turn over and cook another 8 minutes or until done.
    • These go great in lettuce wraps, on top of pasta or zoodles, or on their own!

      […] Turkey Chia Seed Meatballs – Instead of binding these meatballs with breadcrumbs, magical CHIA seeds work their gelling magic to both bind these, and add a ton of Omega-3s and healthy fats. […]
