Now that the boys have mastered chicken, which they prefer baked with olive oil, salt, and pepper, it's time to work on turkey. It's not practical for me to buy a turkey, cook it, and freeze it like I do with everything else. There's a recipe in my Sneaky Chef cookbook for turkey meatballs, but I had to modify it a little. Brandon is allergic to eggs, and I'm not ready for them to have tomato sauce yet since it's acidic and will most likely send his eczema into SHOCK. So, I took 3/4 lb ground turkey, one stage 2 green beans, one stage 1 sweet potato (both left over from my emergency baby food stash), 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and about 2-3 tbsp wheat germ. I smashed it all together, used my awesome pampered chef scooper and scooped them into a baking dish that I sprayed with olive oil. I topped them off with a little bit of pepper and some parm cheese. I baked them in the oven for 11 minutes at 350 and VOILA...TURKEYBALLS. I tasted one, and I can definitely taste the vegetables, but once I can mix in the tomato paste, I bet that flavor will hide it for me. We'll see if the munchkins like them tonight for dinner.
