You give me a ticket, I'll make some meatballs.

I was having such an awesome day, school was chill, my workout was awesome, and then a cop had to go and do their job! I was coming home from the gym and I got a ticket for expired plates. Bummer. But, life still goes on and it's really not a big deal. So I decided to make spaghetti and meatballs for dinner! It's one of those comfort foods that just make you happy. I swapped ground beef for turkey and added some stuff to bulk up these turkeyballs! Jarred tomato sauce and buckwheat noodles made this dinner healthy, quick, and enjoyable:)
Turkey-Flax Meatballs
BASED ON 1/2lb OF TURKEY
Ground turkey (1/4 lb per person)
Splash of balsamic vinegar
2 t olive oil (mine was infused w smashed garlic cloves)
1 t dried or fresh italian seasonings
s&p
1/2 t crushed red pepper
1/2 slice ww bread tore up
big spoonful of ground flax meal
1 T egg whites (or 1/2 beaten egg)
1. Combine all ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. Form into 1inch balls and brown over medium high heat. Then add in your fav jarred spag sauce and cover. Continue cooking until the meatballs are fully cooked, about 10 min over low heat.
2. Serve meatballs and sauce over your favorite ww noodles! I used buckwheat noodles tonight!

ENJOY. Sit down with your family, TV off and your favorite music on. Talk and just appreciate that the most important thing is sitting across from you at the table:) love, whollygirl <3
