Last Minute Superbowl Snack

I promised that there would be healthy recipes scattered throughout this blog and with the big game just hours away, here's a great protein pick-me-up. I have these as a snack and they are great!

King's Turkey Meatballs 

Ingredients

* 1 lb extra-lean ground turkey
* 3 garlic cloves, minced
* 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
* 1/2 teaspoon Celtic Sea Salt
* 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1 large egg, beaten
* 1/2 cup cooked brown rice, cooled
* Olive Oil spray

Directions

1. Combine everything (well, not the spray) in a big ol' bowl, mix it up with your hands and get 'em all funky then roll and shape them into little balls about an inch thick -- this should make about thirty or so meatballs.

2. Spray your skillet with the Olive Oil spray (you probably thought I forgot about that, huh?) and get the stove top up to a medium-high heat.

3. Cook the meatballs for 5-7 minutes or so, rolling them around a little bit so they get brown on all sides.

Boom!  Super quick, super tasty, super healthy protein snack for the big game.

I make these bad boys and then shove the extras in the fridge ... they'll keep for a few days.  Then each day I toss a few into the microwave and nuke myself a quick snack.  These guys are awesome in a quick little lettuce wrap, so getcha some good lettuce too!

Enjoy!
