Med Turkey Meatballs

These are probably the most frequently made meatballs in our home, and the most shared recipe I have. They are so flexible to whatever you have in the fridge and to any dietary needs, and are hands down a crowd favorite. 

Ingredients:

3 lbs ground turkey 

1 egg

1/4 c breadcrumbs (I like Italian)

1 package Mediterranean feta (can sub regular and season accordingly)

2 handfuls fresh spinach - chopped 

1/4 onion, grated (or finely chopped) 

Salt & pepper to taste 

Combine ingredients well, then scoop into balls and bake on a greased pan at 425° for 25 minutes. I like to use my 2 1/2” ice cream scooper for nice even portions, and don’t worry about rounding the bottoms or spreading them out, the meat will shrink as it cooks. There will be a fair amount of juice in the pan once the timer goes off, just pull them out and let sit on the counter for 10m before serving so they can re-absorb all the moisture - this will ensure soft and juicy meatballs! 

3, 2, 1… Easy Coconut Rice

Coconut rice is a delicious and easy addition to any meal, ready in less than 20 minutes, and pairs well with a variety of main courses. 

Ingredients:

3 cups Jasmine Rice

2 cans Coconut Milk 

1 Cup Coconut Water

Plus 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil after cooking 

Combine ingredients in the instant pot or on the stovetop, stir well, and cook for 10 minutes on the rice setting. Turn off the instant pot when finished cooking and let it come to pressure (about 8-10 minutes), then stir in 1-2 Tbsp coconut oil and serve. 

Keeps well in the fridge for 3 days, just warm with a wet paper towel for 1 minute before serving. 

Pairs well with your favorite Asian dish or seafood!
