Moved In and What's Cooking?

So we finally got moved in our new house (actually only I am living here until after we get married). It didn’t take too long to get moved in actually. When you have 2 strength coaches, a sexy fiancé and a case of beer moving stuff isn’t that bad at all.

Stuff



Now that I am out of my apartment I’m loving my larger kitchen. So much so that I’ve been pulling out the cookbooks and trying out some new stuff. I fixed some turkey meatballs with light Ragu sauce and a side of veggies the other evening. Talk about a killer meal.



I got these out of the Men’s Health “Muscle Chow” cookbook but placed my own twist to them (they were bison meatballs in the book).



Baked Turkey Meatballs

Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground turkey
2 egg whites
½ cup toasted wheat germ (I used untoasted-all I could find)
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon McCormick Salt Free All-Purpose Seasoning
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

How to make:

Step 1. Preheat oven to “400 degreez” – ( the “z” in honor of the Juvenile album I purchased in 7th grade). Lightly coat a baking pan with cooking spray. Wipe away any excess with a paper towel.

Step 2. Put all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and knead with your hands until everything is mixed well.

Step 3. Shape into approximately 16 golf ball-size meatballs and place on baking pan.

Step 4. Bake for 15 minutes, turning once after 7 minutes.

I also heated up some light Ragu sauce and poured over them. We had a side of zucchini, onions and mushrooms.
