Some new healthy food I tried last week..

Wasa Oat Crispbread – 60 calories, 2g fiber. Very dry, I would never eat these by themselves, but great with some Light Laughing Cow cheese (regular or garlic/herb) which makes a total of a 95 calorie snack! Also great with some roasted garlic hummus. Just thinking about it makes me hungry

Orange varieties: Cara Cara pink navels (inside they look but DON’T taste like grapefruit) and blood oranges (dark red!). I like these better than regular oranges and they taste more berry-orange than orange. Too bad their growing season is short.

Baked Turkey Meatballs – I had never made meatballs before, but I had just bought 1.5 lbs of ground turkey from Trader Joes. I cobbled together a few recipes from the internet. I would definately use half the onion next time and some garlic (which I forgot)

Baked Turkey Meatballs
Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.
meatballs:

• 1.5 lbs ground turkey
• 1 onion, minced (I would half this, they came out way too onion-y)
• 2 tsp dried basil
• 2 tsp dried parsley
• 1 tsp garlic (I forgot this when I made them!)
• 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs (plain)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 egg, beaten

meatball coating:

• 1/2 cup bread crumbs

Mix meatball ingredients well with you hands. Keep some warm water running if your meat is really cold, I ended up with frozen fingers.

From into balls about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Roll in coating. Place on parchment paper in pan.

Bake at 400F for 20 min, or until done inside.

Eat or freeze! Great with some marinara or by themselves.

I tried to get the nutritional information out of my MacGourmet software but it didn’t have ground turkey! I need to make these again and take some pictures and figure out the nutritional info.
